I really need your knowledge guys! I found that the reason my oil filter is dry is because my car is leaking a huge amount of oil right where the oil filter goes. Does anyone know how I can stop this and what I would need to do and change?
Thanks for your time

Other places to check would be oil pan seal and valve cover gasket. Then you have fun ones like the main seal... Hopefully it's something simple.
