Oil filter issue!

let me get this straight
car came with a plate

you installed a 90 degree over top of the plate

then removed the 90 degree and installed the nipple again ?


if that is the case, my money would be on a overtightened plate
(when you installed the 90 degree it overtightened the plate, causing it to leak)

pull the plate of
check to make sure it is true, and that the center does NOT touch before the outside
it may need a few taps with a hammer on a socket in the center

OR, he's putting it on backwards AND without gaskets. :D
Hope not, but ya never know.
