If you pull that oil filter adapter off please take a pic. I think I’d like to replace any gasket that’s on that piece.
Oil Filter Leak? Maybe?

while it is parked overnight stick a large clean piece of cardboard under it be sure to note the placement, then in the morning examine the cardboard and this should give you a pretty good idea of where to look for the leak

It drips off the bottom of the oil filter.
sounds like it's probably the oil cooler adapter seal then that has been previously mentioned, mine leaked before also

Yeah, from what I see it's like a $4 gasket. I'll try changing that today. I think it can be done without draining the oil? I'm almost tempted to just pull the filter again and just change the adapter plate gasket too along with that blockoff plate gasket.
pretty tight spot up there with the filter on
If you get that p/n for the adapter gasket please post it.
Yeah but you can pull the filter without draining the oil. Just the oil that’s in the filter itself will be lost.

Oil Cooler Blockoff Plate Gasket p/n 72435 $5.29 from Napa Auto Parts. Dude behind the counter says there is no gasket on my Yukon under the oil filter adapter. So I just changed the one. So far no drips. Fingers crossed!
That’s why I couldn’t find that adapter gasket. Which makes sense since it’s behind the oil filter which has its own gasket. I replaced the oil cooler gasket last time I did the oil pan gasket.
