I have always liked Wix and never had a problem (Mann Hummel buyout looks to have changed things?). Today when I checked under the Subaru Forester's hood there was oil all around the filter. Filter was changed about 500 miles ago. It was on tight, but I could still loosen by hand. There is a bump on the seam that is irregular where it was seeping. Pretty sure it is not a dent. The bump feels like metal and it is all painted over.
Lost about 1/2 quart and made a mess including an oily and squeaky serpentine belt.
I put a new 57055 back on from the stash. Same date about 10 minutes older, but the seam looks even all the way around.
Pictures below.
