A leaking water filter is usually a bad O-ring, an overtightened housing, or a cracked sump. Here is the Aurora guide.
The O-ring
A dry, twisted, or worn O-ring is the most common leak point on a filter housing.
The overtightening
Cranking the housing too hard distorts the seal and causes drips.
The crack
A hairline crack in the clear sump can weep under pressure.
