yea, you would know if it was double gasketed. i have seen numerous oil filters blow off of vehicles when they are double gasketed. They make it maybe 200 ft and KABOOM! Also they would pour every bit of oil out before you make it 50 feet!

Why not just refill it with new, and watch the dipstick?

I hope those cars were not coming from your service station after an oil change [&:]. Everything looks okay now, if it ever stops raining here I will take the car out again and then recheck for leaks. I let it run for a few minutes in the garage today after wiping every single thing down and I checked an hour later and no problem, but with my luck lately who knows how long that will last.
