    You should be able to look at the engine & find the source of the leak...
    Its not just all over the bottom side of the cab & you cant see the place of origin,
    We cant help you with this, flashlight & eyes....
    The oil filter gasket probably just shifted during removal, unless the oil filter area is totally oil soaked....
    post some pics...
    Get under it, look at timing cover, valve covers, back of the engine above the transmission, engine oil pan area, where the trans meets the back of the engine....
    People giving you advise is pure speculation without seeing it & making sense of the story which is all right there....

    You dont need to actually see it leak, you need to figure out what on the engine is actually wet with oil, thats the source of the leak...
    Need to look up high first from below as leaks travel downward.
    Oil pan can be totally soaked but could be from leaking valve covers above dripping down...

    Remove or pull the splash shields away in the fender area and use a flashlight.
