Is it still leaking? Oil proper type and properly full? Any Warning lights?

Oil leak probably wasn't oil filter itself but may have been made worse by changing it. Any traces of oil above it leaking down?

Don't wait as if this is lack of oil pressure for any reason you will be lack of engine!

sorry about the double post, anyways yes oil is proper type and full, there are no signs of it still having the leak and no lights on but there was oil on the top of the motor when we noticed the problem not sure where that could be coming from the noise my motor puts off sound somewhat like a bolt or something bouncing around in the motor

OK - Oil leak could be many things, even just a bad oil cap but the miss and noise is critical. This engine could have a problem with the timing belt and is listed as an interference engine which means if is slips from worn teeth or any reason just a tooth wouldn't run right and much more or breaking would almost certain cause severe damage to the engine.

Highest mile suggestion was to do it as routine by 100K and might be one that suggests every 60K or you are rolling the dice.

At 140K now not if but when was it done last? Not sure how the oil leak is involved or directly related but that belt could cause noise and missing as you said and must be ruled out and known right,
