Put a cookie sheet down to catch the drips.

I remember the first oil change I did. My father was teaching me step by step. So got all done turned the car on and oil starts spraying all over the place! I freaked out my dads yelling to turn off the car. Turns out he left off one step!! Make sure the old oil filter gasket came off with the filter and is not stuck on the car! My dad felt so bad for yelling at me and I NEVER did that again! Made sure my son checked when I taught him to do an oil change. Things you never forget!

If it's towards the back of the engine on that side, might be coming from one of the oil breather pipes on top of the engine or the AOS, or yes could be a plug tube!

I guess a Blockhead was a consultant on the IMSB design.
