Oil Problem
I just got back my car from the dealership saturday. The only problem is when i drive more then 10 miles theres smoke by the oil filter. It seems as its leaking on the engine block but the filter is on correctly. Has anyone else had this problem??

Tried that. Took the filter off myself and put it back on. still leaks. and i cleaned the area to get the extra oil off the block.

Try a new filter. Could be that the o-ring is defective/damaged, or maybe the old one is on there too. Or there is just something wrong with that filter. Also take a close look at the face that the filter seals against - make sure that's not damaged.

I will try that but it looks like its leaking where that pipe connects to the engine block. maybe they forgot to put a gasket back?

The engine was replaced. I changed the filter and we'll see what happens. The dealership is in Jersey. I now live in PA. and my hours at work are pretty crazy since i work in the networking field.
