your oil filter should not leak if its installed properly... its most likely leaking from the O-rings on the oil filter pedistal. Two 10mm bolts on the bottom side hold it on... just change the O rings next time you change your oil.

The most common causes of the oil pressure gauge not working are the wire falling off the sensor or the connector getting gunked up.
