Oil change turns to oil leak...

So I bought my car about 2 months ago (2003 WRX Impreza) the first thing I did was changed the oil and filter. About 2 weeks ago I started see oil drops under my car. Someone told me that there was something special about WRX's when changing oil. Did I mess something up?

Where's the oil dripping from?

Did you forget the gasket for the drain plug? If you bought a Subaru filter it should have included a new gasket.

silly question but did you remember to oil up the filter gasket so it creates a seal?

last time I was changing the oil in my car, it went from oil change to boiling hot oil shower... wasn't fun...

Where are the oil drops located beneath the car?
Did you use an OEM oil filter?
Did you install a new crush washer on the drain plug?

like it has been said the first thing is to see where the leak is. a subaru oil change is just like most other car oil changes. oil out, change filter, oil in.
