I have this same thing happening. I found the problem on mine... I have an oil leak coming from under the valve cover on the pass. side. I have the "Bronco" script cast covers and am affraid to torque it down too tight. If you have stock steel covers, take them off and use a hammer to tap the bolt holes to a more concave form. Then you can get some winged washers to help distribute the pressure.

Hope this helps you.

false alarm. i guess the new grip tite hand tighten oil filter
should still be double checked with a wrench.
