The problem started after an oil and filter change, I started it up and heard it sqeak from under. I shut the car down after less than few seconds and saw oil spilling from the filter area. When I removed the filter I saw a round gasket which is thicker than the oil filter tear in two, the gasket on the actual oil filter remained.
Hope this sort of makes sense to someone

If this happened after you replace your flter, you might of had the old gasket-seal from your old filter stick to the housing. And when you installed the new filter it did not seal correctly. FYI it is a good rule of thumb to wipe of the oil filter sealing surface and at the same time fill the filter with some oil and wipe the excess on the seal. Do this each time and you will never have a problem like this again.

I actually do wipe some oil on the surface of the gasket, maybe I forgot the last time.
thanks
