4th Generation 2000 LE V6 oil filter loose

I have a 2000 Camry v6, I had all seals changed about 1 year ago. After a recent oil change at a local jiffy lube, the car started to smell like something was burning. It turned out that my filter was loose. They replaced the filter and added oil. Now, about 3-4 weeks later, same deal, leaking oil slowly, burning smell and, I will likely find out in a minute after it's cool, loose filter. Any ideas?

Thanks

u sure its connin from the filter? the only seals at the filter is the seal that is actually on the filter. if so, then u may want to check the area where the filter seal contacts the engine to make sure there isnt any gouges(for whatever reason) or somthing causing the filter not to seal properly. they may just not be putting the filter on properly, as hard as that can be to screw up.
