Stock canister filter, or spin-on adapter?
If it's the stock canister, then you need to be sure to pry out the old gasket from it's groove, and clean the groove to be sure there weren't two of them in there. It's ironic, but with two gaskets you are almost certain to have a leak.
When you reinstall the canister (after cleaning it and dropping in the new filter cartridge), make sure the edge of the canister enters the groove in the head. There is supposed to be a seal between the flat washer (under the bolt head) and the body of the canister, which has been missing on many cars that I've seen, causing a slow leak at that point.
Don't forget that there are a lot of places that should get a drop of fresh oil at each oil change. Door hinges, pedal pivots, throttle linkage, distributor shaft (under the rotor); to name just a few. Get a copy of the owner's manual and follow what it says.
