2019 - Oil in filter tray?

21K views 27 replies 10 participants last post by  Hankhill11  
hi all. got this car used yesterday from a non-subaru dealer out of state. Somehow i didn't notice this when i was making the deal, but checking things out this morning and found oil pooling in the filter tray. I assume there's a gasket that isn't sealed well, or imperfections on the seating of the tray. Is this something that - IF a new filter doesn't fix - should be warranted under 3/36k normal warranty?

Clean it up, tighten the filter, drive it and see if it still leaks. If it does, go buy a decent filter and install it.
