Mine started leaking after an oil change, they wanted to change the transmission oil pan gasket. I told them it only started after the oil change, they changed the filter again and it was still leaking. They ordered a pan gasket. I took it home and cleaned everything off and took it for a drive, it was the filter, they were not using a wrench to tighten it.

I have always changed my own oil, and have never used a filter wrench to tighten, only to remove. I have always hand tightened the oil filters per the instructions provided without ever having a leak.
