Oil Filter Blow Out. Leaks can also occur during an oil change if the gasket from the old filter sticks to the housing. If the oil filter is installed too loosely, it can vibrate loose and allow oil to leak out. When oil can’t flow around the engine due to a clogged oil filter, the metal components begin to grind together due to an excessive amount of friction. An engine will not go very far at all when the oil filter falls. Like many early stage mechanical failures, a sticking valve may. I put an air hose in the inlet and outlet in the oil filter housing (took off the filter, air in the center hole and the small one next to it). If it’s installed too tightly, the gasket could be damaged, leading to a leak. You should have noticed the oil light coming on, but that’s beside the point. Oil filter bloat is a warning indicator that the system’s pressure relief valve has at some point failed.
