Unhappy oil problem with installation of headers

I got the headers put on and I have to say they sound great. But I have a problem I looked under my car and oil is all over everything. I think it is coming from above the oil filter, does anyone know what this cause is or what to do to fix it. Please help----Thanks

Did you put your dipstick tube back in?

If you changed your filter with the install you might have the new filter gasket and the old fiter gasket stuck together. You always have to check to see if the gasket came off with the filter. It happened to me.

I would say the bolt's around the oil filter or filter itself is loose.
If there is a little oil(residue)that could just be left from undoing the filter assembly and reinstalling.
