So I go to bald hill park in a spot and about a hour later I move my car and notice oil everywhere. I chekced for oil pan leak and found nothin, is looks like its coming out of oil filter or oil pump. Any suggesting. Btw its a 92 eclipse gsx
 
Tighten your oil filter. They are known to back off. Then check your oil return line bolts make sure not loose or stripped. Could be the housing itself (oil pump) but I would check it out and not drive it.
 
So I got bored yesterday and looked under car. Don't know what it is called but the part where the oil filter screws onto was loose. I took off oil filter and tightened with a 15/16 deep deep socket, then reattached oil filter and added oil.
