Mating surface unscratched? Flat?
Just one filter or every time this happens?

Did you get some oil in the groove of the filter? The sealing ring should handle any imperfections. I would take it off and have a good look at it.
You need to re-read his forum entry. Its leaking between the oil cooler base and the block, not between the oil filter and the oil cooler base. I would guess there is an o-ring that is leaking.
Agree with Donald. Chevy 4 wheel drive trucks did this as well over time. New O-ring was just the ticket to stop the seepage.
So how do i take this off the block? that adaptor is fixed to the block.
The question is HOW is it fixed to the block.
If it is not cast with it, there should be a removal method.
Maybe in the center, with the filter off?
BTW, if if IS a casting leak, Clean the area very clean and dry, and use JB weld quick built up around it.
