The oil filter has a rubber gasket and this may be pinched , worn or out of placement. It is possible to over tighten the filter and this may cause a leak. When you get a new filter check that the o ring is in the pack and be careful installing it and dont overtighten. Hope this helps.

A tip when changing oil filters i always follow is to rub so new oil around the seal, my dad said it was something to do with making sure it has a good seal and doesn't dry out. Seems to have worked well for me

its coming from the housing itself, looks like there may be a crack of some sort and need replacing
