I found my oil leak
Was losing only a minuscule amount, but I like to account for every drop...
It was a brand new O ring, too. I prob. didn't have it snugged all the way up when I screwed the filter lid back on.
(Note to self: Don't do maintenance while under the influence...)
If anybody has got a spare, I'm in the market. It's the smaller diameter ring that goes near the top (06 RXT). I haven't checked, but I'm guessing the shipping will far out-weigh the cost of ordering a new one.

I've fixed two leaks recently because of a bad O ring under the bolt head in the cap. The one O ring wasnt even torn all the way but enough to spray oil on the head and coolant hose. If its pooling around the bolt head thats what my money is on.

Also starting in 09 the bolt is captive and will jack the cap off when you remove the center bolt.
