Engine oil leak

[Jtryan]

I change the engine oil on my b2320 3months ago and I notice that everytime I use tractor (5 times since oil change) I see a spot of oil under tractor on the frame itself and not the garage floor. It's in line with oil filter.
Is this just oil stuck in the frame and it's working it's way out?? I can't find any where else it could be leaking

When you changed the filter......are you sure the old gasket came off, and the mating surface was clean?

My fellow Ottawan .. wipe down/pressure wash what you can, then wrap tissue or paper towel around the filter. If it gets oil stained the filter is the culprit ..

Yes I thought about hosing it down but it's a little chilly at the moment
