Anyways, he was telling me it looks like its the seal from the oil filter housing that it was tightening really tight.

I hit up Frank since he is more knowledgeable and said that if its the sealant ring changing the oil will fix it. He said the oil filter comes with all new seals and are pretty delicate and rip easy. I do drive the car hard at times, so I'm not sure if its because of that.

Anyways, the oil level is good we checked it. Just wondering if any of you SRT owners have had this issue? I'm going to bite the bullet and take it into Chrysler for a $120 oil change to make sure its done right and I guess make sure nothing else is wrong with the car.

TIA.
