Next time you change the oil, remove the oil filter adapter and check the o-ring between the adapter and the block. Not actually an o-ring because the OEM ring was actually square. Many of these have been replaced by the square o-ring from the old oil filter. Not a 100% solution, but will work. It stands a little proud of the groove and may seep oil.
Parker has an o-ring that works, but you have to find a Parker supplier that will 'sell' you just one. Local Parker dealer gave me one for free. He said the cost of selling it far exceeded to cost to process the sale. I seem to remember it as a number 4 in size.
I would just take the removed oil filter adapter with me to the Parker supplier and see if he is willing to match it with his current stock on hand. It is not square, but will provide a good seal.
I'm enjoying following your adventure.
