From what I can see on this picture, the oil filter mount/cooler is a unit that bolts to the block. I can imagine a gasket between the two. I guess that is what failed. Bolts not torqued to spec? Spec too low? Pure open speculation on my part. You can also see the oil pressure sender above. I actually suspected that either the oil filter gasket started leaking from a loose filter (historically filters are crazy tight from the factory though) or the filter housing developed a burst hole.
Glad to hear that you are being taking care of. Make sure that the servicing dealer re-fills with 0w40 Ultra. Heck of a way to get the first oil change.
