Thing is the leaking is not from the bolt. There is no leajkage on the upper part of the filter mount. I tried to capture the color of the diesel in the "trough" at the rim of the filter. IMO it is a sealing issue, but there is an overtightening issue here that is part of the car's history that I do not know... All I know is that the bolt was overtightened in the past and now that Im doing it, it leaks...
