Pulled it last night and found why it was leaking.  My buddy who said he could fix it put in the oil filter plate and mounted the angle adapter on top of that.  And he didn't install a gasket between the plate and the block.  I'll fix all that tonight and hopefully it won't leak again. 
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

Yes, I put the right gaskets in the right locations.

Appears not.....

That's why I asked. That's the only time I have seen one leak. Improper gasket placement. This is the first time I have heard of that problem happening.

All the gaskets for the angled oil filter were correct.  Since the filter plate is not to be used when using the angle adapter, I'm not sure why he thought that would help.  Then not put a gasket between that plate and the block is even more of a mystery.  Needless to say, I will correct it.
