Are you sure the leak is from the interface between the adapter sections
and not from the adapter-to-engine connection? But, since it hasn't been
all that long since you installed the engine, that gasket should still be
good.
Aside from the obvious care to clean the seating surfaces good, I'd be
inclined to use the gasket from a new filter rather than a used one. And I
wouldn't be afraid to TIGHTEN that big ol' nut (from X-7525: Oil Filter
Extension Fitting ....55 ft-lb -- I THINK that's the one we're talking
about.)

Ken,
i can't be sure if it is the adapter-to-engine gasket or the adapter-to-oil-cooler gasket. All I can know is I can see oil dripping over the starter solenoid and down to the bottom of the starter. I can't really see where it is coming from.
When I first looked at the oil filter there was an obvious drip down the side and a bunch of oil on the mufflers. On my last trip there was smoke coming from the engine which I assumed was oil leaking from the rocker covers onto the exhaust manifold. Guess I was wrong on that count.
The gasket I took off looked like this from the photo site:

I know I never torqued the big nut to to 55 ft-lb. I'll try that tomorrow.
So you would buy a new filter and take the gasket off it for use as a adapter-to-oil-cooler gasket? I'll try that next.
