you mention the thread was loose so could be it needs tightening or the seal at the top is damaged.

That was my guess, there is some sort of sandwich plate above the filter. I did tighten the central threaded part up but if it leaked from there it would only drip inside the oil filter itself? Think it best to remove it and check that the seal/"o" ring between the engine and sandwich plate is not damaged.
