All oil filters have gaskets and can leak.
Change the filter and wipe the seat on the block clean with a rag.
Lubricate the gasket on the new filter with a drop or 2 of CLEAn motor oil and install it hand tight only.

If the filter that was installed previously was installed too tightly (common), the gasket form that old filter may not have come off when the old filter was removed-so, the new filter was installed OVER this old gasket, causing your leak-it happens more often than you'd think. Remove the new filter and check to see if the old rubber gasket stuck to the machined surface of the engine, and remove it. Probably a good idea to install a new filter, and remember to put a light coating of oil on the base of the new filter.
