Wrong size filter for the engine, filter too tight or too loose, filter has a hole in it, or gasket not oiled before installation thus causing it to leak. The old gasket could have been left on the engine thus causing a leak with 2 gaskets installed.

A bypass oil filter has a valve in it. When the filter media plugs up, the valve open and the oil bypasses the oil filter. It prevents extreme pressure buildup in the oil filter that could blow out the media. Also, many engines use a bypass oil filtration system where only a portion of the oil goes through the filter at any time. All the oil eventually gets filtered.

YES! Never change the oil without changing the filter. Not changing the filter will save you what, 5 bucks. Replacing the engine that you will blow in the process will cost, maybe $800 to $1200. Do the math then go out and CHANGE THE FILTER. Put an air filter in it while you are at it.
What happens if oil filter cap is loose?
Neither your oil filter, or the fill cap need to be loose, the filter should be screwed on as tight as you can get it by hand only, and the fill cap should fit snugly so it does not come off. If the oil filter is loose or too tight you can blow out the seal which will cause you lose all your oil.
