No mate, very small leak with filter on. I have been under it today and it appears to be coming from above the oil filter where the modine meets the engine case, think it may have been leaking before I changed the oil. Was going to take it off today but would have to take the water pipes off and probably drain the water out of the system, there is no room to get to pipes and I did not have a new "o"ring to use if it was damaged, think it could be a job for a real mechanic.
