Oil Leak?
 

I had a fender bender a couple month ago and the car ended in the bodyshop for almost 2 months. One day after I got the car back, I noticed a tiny oil stain on my garage. I opened the hood and saw some oil here and there in the engine bay.

The car is Jackson Racing Supercharged with oil cooler, there seems to be some leakage from the adapter for the oil cooler to the oil filter. The whole device seems loose when I tried to tighten it. But even after tightening it, I still saw a smaller oil stain on the garage floor the second day.

I also cleaned some of the previously oil filled parts in the hood and they are clean the second day, meaning that the oil are probably not leaking from those places

It seems like the oil stain on the floor only happens when I leave the car overnight, I tried to see if there's anything when I drive 5 mins to the gas station or run some errands and couldn't see any stains.

How should I proceed?

PS I am looking to change the oil asap so should I do that first and maybe see either what's going on (If there's any seals broken) or monitor if there are more oil stains after the oil change?

I'll upload the pictures when I figure out how to do it.

Accidents are always unpredictable in damage.

However, my guess is the seal on the sandwich plate just needs replacing, based on the pictures.

I had the same issue. I replaced the sandwich plate and its all good!
