Oil Filter Leaking? - Prado 2014 3.0 Diesel GLX

Hi All,

I've had a recent service as which potential lead to an engine oil leak from the filter.

Now that it has been changed I have noticed a small amount of oil in the basin under the oil filter (please see picture: this is not my car but an example).

If there is a tiny bit of oil that I can see in the basin under the filter, is that normal?
Or is it the case that its still leaking.

Any other trouble shooting I can do?

P.S. new here so not sure if posted in the right place

If its the catch basin under the filter, use brake cleaner or degreaser and wash it off, see if it re-appears. If it does, check tightness of filter.

Drain pipe might also be blocked? It should have drained away down to the bash plate by now.
