I would go drain and remove the filter housing again. Inspect it for any cracks around the edges. As you know these are plastic filter housings. If you tighten them to much you can damage them. Make sure you have a new filter and gasket. While you are at it check that the drain seal is OK. Install the new gasket and filter and tighten to required torque (30nm). Check the oil level and fill it . Start and look for leaks. You may need to get a new filter housing if it still leaks. Good luck
