How do you stop a leak at the oil filter of a 2000 impala?

Purchase the correct size filter and make sure is is a premium filter such as AC/Delco, Purolator, Wix, or Bosch. Remove the old filter and throw it away. Clean the mounting surface and look at is closely for any scratches or gouges. If it is clean and not damaged, apply a thin layer of oil to the gasket on the new filter or it can leak. Turn the new filter 3/4 turn after making contact with the mounting surface. No more than 3/4 turn or it can leak. You will not have a leak if you do this.

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.
