One more possibility comes to mind - but, first, one question. 
Did it ever work without leaking?

One of the problems I had to deal with when machining my oil
filter mount
( http://members.cox.net/rogersda/Products.htm#oil005 )
was getting the center gallery as nearly square to the gasket
face as possible.  If the threaded tube that the filter screws
onto isn't square, part of the gasket won't compress as much
as the rest, and could leak.  The only way I know to check this
is to be able to see the junction between filter and mount
face, and verify that all parts of the gasket contact the face at
the same time.
