Default Oil Leak from Oil Filter

My GS has 216K miles. I know that's a lot of miles. The first thing I did was replace the valve cover gaskets and do a timing belt and water pump job. The car runs like champ. The last oil change I did, I noticed the the oil is dripping from the oil filter. It's never dripped before. Now I can seem to get it to not drip. I've cleaned the mating surface and scuffed it a bit as well. I am still getting small puddles under it. Has anyone had a problem like this?

make sure the oil filter gasket isn't double sealed...
