If it leaks in the area of the filter and you possibly did the oil change, check to be sure that there is not a second or old gasket on the filter.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the oil filter area for a second or leftover old gasket from a previous oil change. Also check the gasket at the oil cooler return just before the oil filter, which was identified as the leak point, and replace it if damaged.

Conversation Summary

A 1995 Honda Odyssey leaks oil from behind the oil filter when the engine is started. The owner located a gasket at the oil cooler return ahead of the filter. An expert advised checking that a second or old filter gasket was not left in place during an oil change.
