Mystery oil leak...from where?
Gotta small leak around the oil filter (drips down from filter) changed the oil & filter and still had the problem...valve cover gaskets were replaced less than 8000 miles ago and were tightened after 3000 miles or so...could it be the infamous dipstick O ring? I can't seem to find any info on that..perhaps oil pump O ring? Any ideas?

It was brought to my attention that the problem could be with the oil filter housing (15609) or perhaps the gasket (15691) that is used with that housing...Any thoughts?

No. 15691 would be the next thing to replace.
Are you sure you're not over-tightening the filter? Over tightening can lead to leaks too.
