Sounds like you may have two seals. See if there is an extra seal stuck to the engine. If there are two seals it'll create major leaks!

I'm assuming you have replaced the filter since this started.

If it only does it cold then try the lightest weight oil you can find. (Motorcraft has a 5W20)

Tighten the filter down real good with a filter wrench.

Re: 1.9 oil filter blowing off

3 oil filters did the same thing.used 10w40 oil. put a crank kit in it ,.so far as i can figure it must be the oil pump putting way too much oil pressure output.maybe the plunger is stuck open or close ,what a pain lol

Did you check to see if a second filter gasket is stuck to the block?

Is the rubber gasket actually blowing out?

Maybe try siliconing the gasket in place on the filter then tighten the hell out of it with a filter wrench.

Strange
