Leaky Oil crush washer...
Have you ever experienced a leaky crush washer?
This past Monday I did an oil change on my car – yesterday I crawled underneath to make sure my filter wasn’t leaking, this after reading all the treads about the defective new oil filters F08, F09 and F10 (mine was a F05).
Like I do at all my oil changes, I used a brand new crush washer – but noticed a minute oil leak. It’s not leaving a puddle on the ground, but I can see a little bit of seepage around the nut.
Any of you ever experienced this? Should I change it or should I be fine until the next oil change?

yeah I'm sure it's in the right position. Flat portion towards the head of the plug!
