small oil filter leak

[gloves]

Hey, I just replaced my oil. Unfortunately before hand I had read online my model of car has a life time filter which isn't removable, but once I removed the shroud i noticed it was there.
It had been leaking every minimally, mostly just oily around the unit and a bit in the cover but unfortunately I hadn't bought a new one so i did the oil change anyway.

I had to use a friend and his tools to do the oil change and frankly I can't be bothered to go through all that again. Should i look at getting this sorted at a garage asap or just check the levels everyday this week and if its OK then live with a bit of a leak?

You can just change it you will lose some oil but you can just top it up again. Its best to have a new one to be on the safe side.

Going by your profile I assume you are 1.8 petrol so its this one https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/crosland-oil-filter-501590288

It's the fuel filter that is a non-serviceable, lifetime item on the petrol models. 

oil filters will always need regular changes.
