Blahhh - I'm suffering from the same "oil dribble down the filter" now. Although on mine, I noticed it was dripping onto the filter from up above somewhere. I could see a small drop on the exhaust manifold bottom mounting stud directly over the oil filter. Now where the h@ll it originally is coming from is beyond me, valve cover maybe? Although, that would be above the exhaust manifold and I'm seeing it only on the lower side. I suppose if the pressurized oil feed in the head gasket were leaking some it might ooze out there, but I don't even really want to think about that untill (hopefully never) the car starts hemoraghing.
