When you installed your ECS cap, did you have to swap the piece of the oem cap that the filter slides onto?

I had my oil changed, along with the filter of course. I was leaking. It was collecting in the same spot yours was. I had the same tech order a new O ring, take off the cap, replaced the O ring, and re-tighten the cap. No problems since... I'd start there.

Hose from pelican parts came in the mail today so I swapped the new one with the broken one. Super easy, they're held together by a tiny c clamp. Attempted to get the oil filter cage off the oem cap which was oddly difficult and I once again broke something.
Cracked the top of the cage where it connects with the spring. Filter cage was still able to fit with the ECS tuning cap so not really worried. I'll order a new one and just replace it. Drove it around for a bit and no leak. Not sure if it was the cap or the gasket but it's gone.. for now |

Looks like a bad cap o-ring seeping. I got a non Mann oil filter and the o-ring was the wrong dimensions and never sealed right the cap to housing. It should be quite tight to screw down the last few turns doable with to hands twisting however.
