When you changed the filter, did you look to see if an old gasket was stuck on the mount? Two gaskets will cause a leak.

got home, took the filter off, no extra gasket. the leak is just above the filter mounting surface and not the sender. is there a gasket in there?

change the filter. Years ago I had a leak from the filter thought it was a head leak turned out the filter gasket was bad and would leak like hell when it was cold outside.

took it to a local shop today to check for a timing cover seal for sure, they found the oil sensor leaking so it should be fixed now. will check tomorrow for sure.
