I was power washing the Honda the other day and noticed that my oil / DCT filter area had a good bit of dirt and oil buildup.
Cleaned off and dried the area, started the motor and I could see a slight drip coming down from the oil filter cover.
Decided to do another oil change right away so I could see what was going on. I remember when I last did the oil change, it felt like the cover didn't tighten down evenly...
Found the o-ring was partially crushed on that install. It's one of those lessons you always have to teach yourself - if something didn't feel right, stop, back up, and re-do it.
