-Either you almost never pop the hood, or you saw it and chose to ignore the problem
What was originally a $10 DIY or $200 indy repair is now probably a $1,000+ repair.

I misspoke when I typed that up earlier, I did not mean the gasket, what I meant to say was the O-ring on the filter housing cap that we replace on each oil change. I typed it up in a hurry/panic and was not thinking clearly! Haha
