Default Oil leak

I have a 94 s10 blazer and I have an oil leak. I don't see any leakage from the top I see it from the bottom. I think its my oil filter adapter any suggestions.

Find out where its leaking from, get under there, wipe everything off, and see where its leaking from.
then report back, its hard to give suggestions with us trying to guess where its leaking from.

use a can of brake cleaner under the truck and clean off all the surfaces with it and stick card board under the truck it will help pinpoint the oil leak. only a few places it can leak from really

Very true, keep the brake cleaner away from anything rubber.

if its the oil filter adapter, they sell gasket/o-ring kits for them. If its the oil lines, they will need to be replaced. mine was leaking horribly from the oil lines.
I just ended up deleting the remote oil filter completely on my jimmy because I did not want to deal with it anymore.
