Check the oil level. Have him show where he poured it in and ask how much he used. Check the oil filter, maybe he has two gaskets or no gasket.

By all means do all of the above then clean the mess off the engine. Have the grandson start the tractor while you see exactly oil shoots out of the engine. It could even be unrelated to the oil change.

Tighten the oil filter.

All the above, and please be sure to explain to the grandson that things happen, and you appreciate his help with the oil change...
