The filter is almost brand new, I put it on maybe a week ago, and

You can try lubing the seal again and re-installing the filter.

Don't know about yours, but both my 88 and my son's 91 has 3 O-rings in
that adapter assembly: 2 in the base that mounts to the block and one on
the hollow bolt that holds it on. Make sure you get them all and use a
film of oil to lube them so that they can slip a bit as you compress them.
