If you've changed the oil, there might be TWO gaskets on there, if the old one was stuck to the engine, instead of coming off with the filter. Take it off and check and install a new one, in case there's a flaw in the one on there. Also, don't forget to put some grease on the new gasket before installing the filter. Hand tighten ONLY. If you use a filter wrench to install THAT will ruin the gasket seal.
