    If it is the cannister type filter perhaps the filter was not tightened sufficiently?
    If it is the paper type filter fitted in the plastic housing and screwed on, maybe the housing was not tightened sufficiently. Or it could be that the rubber "0" ring was fitted incorrectly. Who ever fitted it might have fitted the "0"ring at the base of the filter where there is what looks like a space for it instead of higher up where there is an indentation for it. It would mean that instead of a tight seal the oil was able to run down the threads of the filter housing.
    I am aware of both of the above happening.
    I hope you will have no engine damage.
