Help identify dripping sound of liquid(oil probably) onto something hot

[TEMA]

Just recently i change the cover gasket in hopes that engine wouldnt lose any oil plus it was time to 105000miles on the truck. what else could it be? and i think now it consumes more oil than previously. engine light came on i checked the level of oil and it was minimal after running up the temperature. so any input is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Which engine?
For V8 you need both the outer and inner gaskest per-bay as well as grommet suppose to be replaced, not familiar with I-6 engine gasket on what could go wrong.

Like you said when everything goes wrong look back on what was last thing done on the car.

Look at the oil filter gasket housing.

i hear something drip onto something hot, i assume its the exhaust pipe because the sound is coming from the rear of the engine. now probably to calm my nerves i would need to pull the engine. but was hoping that something like this is common.
