oil Leak please help

I am at my wits end.
It is a discovery 2 td5 with 134k mileage and after I changed the oil filter it is now getting worse,
I have changed the oil filter housing gasket and the oil cooler gasket and o ring.
but it is still dripping down the side of the filter.
So now I think there's a deeper underlying problem.
Could there be too much pressure in the system and that's a relief point caused by leaky injectors or the oil pressure relief valve?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Start with the easy things first, when you changed the oil filter, were you unlucky enough to get a small bit of the old gasket stuck in the groove around the seat?

What oil filter are you talking about -
the main one
or
the rotor filter
If the latter, did the 2 bolts bite or were they loose, the have a habit of stripping the threads in the housing and if this has happened you may need to use a longer bolt and nut to clamp the housing down

+1 or I used a thinner nut and bolt to hold the top on. It doesn't need to be very tight, just enough for the O ring to seal as there's no pressure in the oil.

It has been stripped down to the oil cooler since so no, no two seals are

Latest up date. Tonight I purchased a new filter bolted turbo back on.
Topped up the oil and leak has moved to the turbo oil feed pipe.

Thank you for your input and support. Hopefully after new oil cooler gasket oil filter gasker new o ring, new turbo oil feed pipe with copper washers I think I have cured the major oil leak. Hope to sort the others soon.

Just a thought, I had my oil feed pipe made by my local hydraulics guy out of stainless steel flexi pipe, rated much higher than the original. So should last longer... and it cost me £5
