i went under the hood and found out that it was my oil filter.

I guess when i took the old one out, i forgot to inspect the old oil filter and didnt clean the place where it screws in (it was raining, windy and cold).

The old oil filter seized and when i took it off with the socket clamp thing the rubber didnt come out with it (i didnt notice). So i put in the new one and ran the car. At first i thought it was just oil spills but when the smell didnt leave, I got worried. Then today, when i got home i noticed a puddle of oil on my drive way. This scared me and i jacked up the car. inspected and saw that the rubber seal was off ( i see the rubber sticking out of place (fram 3793a)). I ended up doing an oil change and when i took out the oil filter i saw 2 rubber seals.

Anyways, hope this helps anyone ^^

Its a mistake that happens. At least now chances are you'll never forget to check it in the future.
