Oil filter seal leaking, 5.0L

[Bumperlt12]

I am affraid to tighten it down anymore then i have.

Is this a common issue? It's leaking oil into my bilge.

Do I need to add more of a seal somehow?

Nope,... No reason to drain the oil,... the sump won't drain through the fliter housin',...

And make sure to lubricate the seal with a little oil before installing to help keep it from pinching.

You will get a small amount of oil when you remove it, small.......

It should be leak free with a good hand tighten.

What filter is it?
