Default Oil Leak around Filter

Hi All,

Im new to Subaru but not new to changing my own oil. I have performed three oil changes on my '12 Impreza and I've noticed something I have never seen before. There is oil in the tray around the filter. I took some pictures for you all to see. Is this normal? The filter is WIX, oiled seal with new oil and turned past contact to make sure it good and tight on.





If this is not normal, how do I prevent this?

PS. I re-posted this in the Maintenance section, I think this belongs there. Can an admin help me with this?
