I have an oil leak that is coming from the filter area. I have read that some engines have the oil filter housing go bad (or a seal in it) but it seemed only related to those engines with the oil cooler housing. From what I can see on my engine, I have a standard oil filter housing. I doubt I have 2 gaskets in the filter, cause this has been happening for the last 3 oil changes. (3K miles)

Any other gaskets/things I should be looking at?

Maybe checking the mounting surface for any marks on it or parts of an old gasket sticking to it. How tight do you tighten the filter? If you are tightening too much this could mess up the gasket. good luck
