oil filter leak

[redbraveheart]

Thanks for all who helped on my last post regarding ECU and tuning this god dam speed six i have rebuilt
Now the nightmare continues !! i can not get the new oil filters to stop leaking on start up i have fitted Wix WL7117 x 2 and Mahle OC384 x 2 and even tried one with a thicker filter and still no luck !! the thread is not damaged or the gasket seat on the filter housing
Fitted loads of oil filters before on all sorts of engines never had this fiasco [spin on then hand tight half a turn ish]
i have used the above meathod [leaked] used the removal tool to tighten a bit more [leaked] how far do i go ?
Any ideas on this one before i get the matches out ??

Are you sure it's not the union above the filter dribbling down or even something higher up? A leaking oil filter flange is not something I have ever seen unless the block is cracked on the flange or the filter is duff and two duff filters seems unlikely.

You'd be better posting this in the Speed 6 engine forum?

Cheers lads
going to tape some brown paper around the area and get another set of eyes on it just in case its an age thing lol
the union seems ok and not an oil mark above the filter housing but last check then i give up !!
