You may have to take off the filter and make sure that it wasnt double-gasketed..if the gasket from the old filter stayed on there, you would have two and it wont seal.

The oil pedestal O-rings are probably leaking if it is coming out from under the filter.

remove oil filter
remove two nuts from bottom of pedestal
remove pedestal
replace orings - use a bit of hylomer to hold in place
go back up the list in reverse order
