1996 Volkswagen Passat GLS spurting oil from above oil filter. This happened a week after I changed my own oil and oil filter but I also just moved from a desert environment to a below zero type of climate. I only hand-tightened the oil filter when I put it on but it doesn't leak from the filter itself. What's happening?

SOURCE: Oil pressure drops to zero after warmed up or below 2700 RPM

Check the oil pressure with a test guage, if the finding are the same, the look at your oil filter, pump, pickup, or pressure relief valve.....
