It is a really good idea. Usually when you remove the cover and remove the old gasket there is a good chance that you will get some foreign object into the engine.

What causes extreme oil leak through oilfilter?

If this immediately followed an oil change odds are it's either the wrong filter or it was "double gasketed", when changing the filter it's pretty common for the gasket from the old filter to stick to the mounting surface and then there is a gasket on the new filter so the oil pressure just pushes the oil between the two gaskets. If this isn't immediately following an oil change, I'd make sure the filter is tight and hasn't been puncture by road debris, then try changing the filter and if all else fails take it to a local independently owned garage.
