Default oil leak

i have a oil leak on my 1999 ultra it looks like it's coming from around my oil filter adapter i changed the o rings and it's still leaking .. it's not real bad but it's there. i didn't notice it until i rebuilt the motor and put the high volume oil pump on it
any ideas..

It's probably just marking it's spot. Did you clean it up good after changing the oil?
