Hey Terry. Talk about bad luck. Find out first if the oil is coming out of the fitting going to the filter or going from the filter to the fitting. If its coming out to the filter you'll be able to drill(if necesary) it or use a good extractor to get it out. If any shavings get in, you could get someone to crank the engine over with the ignition unhooked or the stop lever out (diesel?) until clear oil flows out. If oil flows into the engine at this fitting, you could put some heavy chassis grease on your drill bit or the extractor to help catch the shavings and if push came to shove you could use a shop vacuum with a small nozzle to pull any filings etc. out of the hole. Just remember, most pipe(tapered)fittings dn't need but a small amount of sealer and just snug them up. Don't get heavy handed tightening them and always use a backup wrench to support it.
