My sons 2000GT blew the oil out from the base seal area on the oil filter. We put a new one on to see what would happen and it did it again 20 seconds after start up. Noone I have talked to can explain this type of failure. The engine is probably trashed cause he didn't know this was going on driving down the road. Just want to know if this has happened to anyone else.

You more than likely double stacked the oil filter gasket. Pretty common mistake, and can easily be overlooked when the gasket is not still attached to the old filter.
I make it a habbit to use the old filter to lube the gasket on the new filter, by rubbing the two gaskets together. This insures I check to see that the old gasket is not still attached to the black, and that I have lubed the new one.
take the filter off and see if there is two gaskets in there. this happens a lot. IF a shop did the oil change you may want to not touch it and have it towed in.

+4. This just happened to me recently as well. Take a look at the old oil filter that you took off, bet the old gasket isn't there anymore. I was multitasking and didn't check this time - and I have check all the time prior. Typical....
