Default Oil leak?

I've been having a tiny amount of oil buildup underneath my car where the oil pan is for 2 days now.

Have anyone else had these issues? I'm about to go jack up the car and take a look real soon. My friend said my oil filter my be messed up, I dunno. Maybe my drain plug got loose?

do you do your own oil changes? if so do you replace the crush washer on the drain plug with a new one each time?

Found the problem. One of the APS oil return lines (passenger side) is rubbing against the passenger side motor mount. I'm gonna have to get one from GTM or have them custom mould me one . . . because the APS is custom moulded.

It's an annoyance but not a huge problem.

It's part #136 on the APS website HERE:

Scroll down, they're in numerical order.

Yeah, I'm gonna wrap both ends (i think both ends hit the motor mount) with a larger diameter hose so that way it won't rub into the "real" hose. At least that's what GTM suggested.
