Silverfoxracing: I wonder if the nut on top of the oil filter cover has been over tightened too many times causing the top to deform so that the sealing lip of the top doesn't literally "seal' against the top edge of the filter canister? Set the lid on a sheet of glass to see if it contacts the glass surface fully.
