Did you change the oil yourself or did you have a quicky lube place change it?

It sounds like it may be an oil cooler (weep / pinhole) leak. Here's a URL for an "oil cooler" search result from the SVT/DOHC tech forum of Corral.net :

Click to expand...

The filter is not on right enough or.. th eoold O ring is still on there form the previous filter. Together with the new o-ring it will leak.

Take it back to whoever changed the oil. Likely to be an installation error
