That is why you always punch a hole in the top of the filter prior to removing...allows the oil in the bottom down filter to drain out.
Sorry about the mess you had to deal with...

In some parts of the country 'shat' is a correct past tense.

Oh man, at first I thought it came apart! Glad to hear that's not the case. I suppose if it were holding oil in, that's a good thing? Though why would it hold it when installed, then stop holding it when you unscrew it?

How long had the engine been sitting?
