Well, you may have over-torqued the filter. I think the bolt on the bottom is only supposed to be 22 ft-lbs, and it's possible that if it's too tight that might cause a leak. Or you may have cross threaded the filter and caused it to leak. I'd just take it off and inspect the threads then carefully put it back on, and snugly tighten everything by hand and see what happens. Hopefully it's just something minor like that.
