Hks oil filters

As above anyone used these? Noticed a patch of oil from underneath this morning suspect it's from the filter area seems i may have a problem with one of those new genuine Subaru numbers

Has the filter been tightened too much? If a garage fitted it they probably employed King Kong to tighten it until the casing contacted the base! The rubber seal has been over-compressed. Just a possibility.
