It could if you crimp the gasket. Best bet is to remove it and install a new one. Put a little clean oil across the rubber gasket and clean the filter area on the engine. Tighten it as hard as you can BY HAND. It won't leak.

What will cause An oil leak below the oil filter on a 1988 s-10 with 2.8 v6?
Oil filter installed incorrectly as in too tight, too loose, the gasket was not oiled prior to installation, or the old filter gasket was left on. It can also be a valve cover gasket leaking and running down by the filter. Replace the oil filter and oil the gasket and tighten 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. If the leak persists if is not the filter.

What can be causing a oil leak above the oil filter in 1989 ford thunderbird?
First make sure it is not the filter that is leaking. Remove the old filter and install a new filter that is the correct one. Apply oil to the gasket and tighten exactly 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. Tighten any moreor any less and it may leak. If that is not the problem, then I would suspect the valve cover gasket may be leaking. Another possiblility is a leaking oil pressure sending unit.

Is there anything behind oil filter that would make oil spray out on 95 olds cutlas supreme sl?
You may have left the old gasket from the filter you removed in place. You may have not oiled the gasket on the new filter before installing it. The filter may be too tight or too loose. Tighten 3/4 turn after making contact with the mounting surface, no more or no less. Any of these will cause a leak.
