Sounds like you need to replace the o-rings on the drain valve. This is a common leak problem on the stock fuel bowl. Did you drain the bowl when replacing the filter? Sometimes opening and closing the valve reseats the o-rings on the barrel valve and is a temporary fix.

Go to dieselorings.com and order you a fuel bowl rebuild kit. Or at least the o rings for the drain valve.
Bob is great to work with, fast shipping, and great prices. Oh, and this will solve your leak

If you don't go with an entire fuel bowl rebuild, two #202 viton o-rings work for the valve (which is the culprit 99% of the time).
