Are you 100% sure it's your oil filter? I thought I had the same problem but it turned out to be the oil pressure sensor right above the oil filter that was leaking.
Yes sir.....is leak from oil filter spot.Quote:

You said you made an extra gasket? Are you using two gaskets at the same time? Is the one you made a solid piece?
Firsat remove the extra gasket, then clean the filter gasket well, then clean the engine where the oil filter mounts.
Re-install oil filter
If problem continues, replace filter.
If problem continues, IDFK.
