Can't be leaking from 1 inch above the oil filter, check your valve cover or check the torque on the bolts on the intake. You might have to replace the gaskets on both. You might want to purchase dye that came be added to your oil while in the engine and use a florescent light to locate the source of leak, this would be the sure way of locating your leak. The dye came be purchased at most auto parts stores also, places like Pep Boys auto can do the service for you, usually at a reasonable cost.

Remove the old filter. Replace it with a new filter. Before installing the new filter wipe the mounting surface clean and apply a coat of oil to the new oil filter's gasket. Spin on the filter and tighten it 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. No, more and no less. If you still see oil leaking from the filter then look above the filter for the leak. Possibly valve cover is leaking.

What can be causing a oil leak above the oil filter in 1989 ford thunderbird?
First make sure it is not the filter that is leaking. Remove the old filter and install a new filter that is the correct one. Apply oil to the gasket and tighten exactly 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. Tighten any moreor any less and it may leak. If that is not the problem, then I would suspect the valve cover gasket may be leaking. Another possiblility is a leaking oil pressure sending unit.
