New oil filter no change
There are a lot unanswered questions in your description here, but I will try to give you a few ideas.
when was the oil last changed? is it leaking from where the filter is attached, if so filter needs to be removed & either put back on or replaced. be sure before installing new filter to wet the filter gasket with a little new oil before installation, this helps with seal.
is there a hole in oil filter, if so it needs replacing.
is the filter on front or rear lower portion of engine? check to see where oil is coming from, it may be a front or rear crank shaft seal. which is a major project.
keep in mind that when the engine is running & also when vehicle is in motion the oil will be blowing back & occasionally make it look like the oil is leaking from somewhere else.
if you start by getting under vehicle ( make sure vehicle is properly blocked up so no chance of falling on you. do not trust the jack alone to hold up vehicle) and try to look & see where the oil is coming from.
there only certain places that oil can leak, gaskets, seals, line connections ect...
Check to see if oil sending unit is above the filter. If so it can drip down on filter. Check on website "Aboutautomobile.com" for complaints, technical service bulletins, or report this problem yourself. Chemical tracers can be added to oil and using a UV light can trace source.
