Interesting. I’ve encountered this one one filter change. I’ve changed a lot of filters in my day and never have encountered a leak before. Couldn’t get this one to stop but the problem went away with my next filter change.

Not sure why this would be an engine TSB as it seems to be a filter gasket issue.
