The problem is rarely the filter. If it was, the problem would go away when you changed the filter. If you're not sure, switch positions of the filters.

The problem is in the cast aluminum base. Single or dual, they often leak for a variety of reasons: the base isn't flat, the base has imperfections, or it changes shape with the heat.

You could clean it really well, and add a slight smear of The Right Stuff. You best option is to replace it with billit components; but that's not cheap.
