I have oil dripping from where my oil filter meets the engine. The filter is on tight. Anyone know what's going on?

Volvo Bulletin (from Vadis)

850 S70/V70/C70-2-21-0014

Background:
The oil pan may leak.
The oil often leaks from the three screws at the front edge of the pan. New screws with thread sealant have been introduced into production from and including the following chassis number.
In the event of leakage, the three screws must be replaced with new screws with thread sealant. Alternatively thread sealant P/N 1161056-5 can be used.

Could it be instead of the filter itself?>

You have to replace the filter. A dab of Dow Corning DC4 on the filter gasket before installation is a good practice.

In addition to leaving the O-ring from the old filter behind, it's also possible to score the new O-ring installing the new filter.

Is it possible that there are two gaskets instead of just one?
