Sounds all the more like either a leak from oil pressure sender, mounted on filter casting below intake manifold. Or a leak from oil filter itself, either loose or leaking out at gasket, possibly, as I suggested, mounted atop a left-behind gasket from the last filter.
Double gasket sounds good, but actually, as it's a square-shouldered o-ring that needs to be supported part of its depth in the square groove in the filter base, if one is left bare, stuck to the block, then nothing is holding it in its round shape and under pressure it can push out into an oval and let oil gush out.
My suggestion is, put on some rubber gloves, grab the filter and spin it counter-clockwise and take it off to see if that's what's up.
