I changed the oil and filter the other day and when I started the engine everything was fine for about 30 seconds, then I heard what sounded like a pressurized hissing and then sputtering. I though it was a radiator hose, but it was oil I found pouring onto the ground. Seems to be coming from the area around the oil filter, but the filter itself is in good condition and seemed to be seated properly and tight. Any idea what it could be, I have never encountered spraying oil before.
