I thought it was just a loose oil filter but the leak is pouring from the filter mount. The filter isn't loose. The gasket on the filter looks good.
Try to repalce the oil pressure send unit.
The gasket on the oil filter platform ws bad andhad to be replaced.

I also have the same problem. Oil filter is on securely yet the oil is leaking from behind the housing. I can't quite see where it's leaking but I seems like it's coming from the top and then leaking down. It's about 2 inches from the filter.
1993 Mark VIII leaking oil like a sieve but not filter

I have the same problem, its the gasket from the block to the oil filter housing. How hard was it to do this job?????
Make sure the gasket from the previous filter isn't still on. I've seen them stick to the surface occasionally. Also make sure you didn't cross thread the filter. And of course, make sure you have the correct filter.
pour water in at the bottom near centre water starts leaking fast drips on the cross memba i think that holds the engine a diagram of how the water flows through the motor would help
