How to diagnose:
After completing the oil change (so the oil filter cartridge would have a new O-ring), I "hosed" down the oil residue near the oil filter and the oil filter cap last night with cleaner.
As soon as the engine was started, I started to see the car "bleeding" (weeping) oil from what appears to be the metal-metal junction of the oil filter assembly to the block. Too dark to video it so others can see.
Looks like at a minimum, I need to replace the gasket.
