Well, it seems that I was able to figure it out, and thaknfully it wasn't a big problem at all. What happened was when I removed the old oil filter, the rubber seal separated from it and remained attached to my engine (not sure how or why it did this). So I just removed the old seal and put the new oil filter back on and it's fixed.
However, quite a bit of oil got on some of the components such as on the engine and a couple hoses and wires and other stuff. Any recommendations on what type of cleaner or something that would remove the oil?
