That might help. Check the old oil filter for a gasket, I'll bet it's still on the engine.

Sounds like you may have the wrong size filter and it is not sealing. You might want to check with your local parts store and make sure which filter you need to use or if you still have your old filter write down the part number and manufacturer and get the same one or they could cross reference it for you to use another brand of filter.
