i was goin down the highway tonight and noticed some smoke coming out from behind my truck then the oil pressure light came on and no oil pressure so i pulled over and looked and oil was everywhere under my truck looked like it came from above or around where the oil filter is. what could this be has anyone else had this happen to them? its a 99 4.6 L

 

Has the oil been changed recently? Sometimes people don't pay attention and the gasket sticks to the block from the old filter and then you have 2 gaskets on and that's NOT good. Did the filter spring a leak? Seldom happens, but I have heard of it. Someone didn't decide to pull a dirty trick on you and loosened your filter did they? Hope it didn't do damage when it ran low.

 

yea i just changed the oil 2 days ago and i alway put a dab of oil on the gasket so it dont stick so i dont think thats it i doubt someone could unscrew it without a filter tool cuz i get it on tight. im going to look at it closer today in the light so i can see what the deal it.
