The only way I was able to fix the issue correctly once was to double nut  
the oil filter tube, and use a ninety degree claw wrench and  extension/ torque 
wrench to reinstall the mount.
This was after a 4 hour oil filter removal, (over torqued by PO) which was  
simply one of the least fun jobs I have done, well after Porsche 944 clutch  
replacements, but I won't go there......basically twisting off bit by bit the  
oil filter in pieces till I got the damm thing and filter feed pipe off and on  
the bench- hence a perfect example of why to NOT over-tighten the oil filter, 
 and to put a little oil on the seal before mounting up. AND to use the 
proper  torque and torque wrench when called for.

BTW, Scott, and Ron I like you both and value your opinions and input, but  
to quote Rodney King "can't we just get along"?
