Had the same or similar issue on my’19 Laramie 5.7l. Always did my own oil changes using Pennzoil full synthetic and Fram Ultra Guard filters. After 60k miles it developed a small oil leak that was dripping off the steering rack. Knowing it’s electric power steering it had me stumped. Took it to the dealership. $140 later they said it was left over oil from the last time I changed oil. Knowing that wasn’t the case I changed the filter again with another Fram Ultra Guard. Still had the leak. Went to Autozone and compared Fram filter to a STP filter. The STP filter gasket was about twice as wide and thicker than the Fram. Bought and installed it…no leak. Bought a Wix filter on Amazon and it has a gasket similar to the STP so it is going on with the next oil change. Don’t know why after 4 years the Fram filters started to leak unless they changed their design or manufacturer but I’m not going back.
