So the other day I went in a store to grab a drink came back off and oil is pouring out from under my 97 Dodge Ram 5.2 l so I thought the oil filter might be full so I did an oil change replaced the oil filter and oil pan because there was a small crack and I noticed today it’s still leaking from the oil filter I don’t know what else to do
