Default HELP! Oil leak near oil filter

I seem to have a fast leak that causes a pool near the oil filter. I changed the filter and o rings that came with the filter and the leak is still there. I'm not even sure if it's even coming from the filter itself. Do you guys have any idea where the leak is from? Thanks in advance!!

I have been there, done that.

It's an easy fix.

As in previous post -- probably pinched o-ring around the oil filter cap.
