Did you get the filters at the same time/same place? They could have been part of a bad batch. I get cases of light bulbs and ballasts and its seems every once in while you get a bad batch. Just throwing it out there. I have used Motorcrafts from Autozone my last 6 oil changes with no such issue. Good luck finding the problem.

Did you try to tighten it more after it started leaking? I have been using the Motorcraft oil filter every oil change on this truck and the truck before it and I have never had a problem.

i wiped it all clean made sure it was still tight and drove it a little and it seems to have quit leaking so hopefully it was just some excess oil coming off the seal and filter thanks for you input guys i appreciate it

I've been using Motorcraft filters for nearly 20 years. Never had a problem either. Something's up. Out of curiosity, did you fill the new filter with fresh oil? Not that this has anything to do with it, just wondering.....
