Default Re: ugh, oil everywhere

I suspect the large O-ring was in the wrong groove at the top of the filter housing
Be sure it is in the CORRECT GROOVE ( just above the threads) and lightly oil the O-ring before you install the assembly and tighten it securely
The gasket position here is correct and highlighted in blue !!!

If the O-ring isn't seated in the correct groove just above the threads the oil will spray everywhere upon starting the engine
