Default Wrong Oil Filter

Need some help. I took my basicly stock 92 in to have the oil changed. I took it to someplace I have never been before (mistake) and apperently they put the wrong filter on and after about 20 miles and the temp got to about 215 it started smoking. Oil was spouting out of the filer tube. I took it back and they put the correct filter on it. But now I am having the same issue, but oil is coming out somewhere and smoking again. Question is what seals/gaskets would blow out because of this. They said the would fix the issue but I want to make sure they know what they should be fixing. Thanks for the feedback.

First off, are you watching your oil pressure? Are you sure the smoke you see now is not the residual oil burning off the manifold?

Yes, and I cleaned everything off, and I ran it for about 20-30 miles before it started smoking again.

Stock 92? Next time go with an AC/Delco PF52. That's what I use.
