Unhappy Oil change - rookie mistake or just a fluke

First oil change on my Boxster - followed procedure and all went well. Tightened the filter housing and plug with a torque wrench. No problem all seemed tight and no leaks.

BUT after idleling and a short 2 mile spin I am dripping oil - looks like it is coming from the filter housing. Filter is tight, oil ring is on. WTH?

Should I tighten more (it was very tight - probably over torqued when I took it off). Take it off and start over. I am in a quandry on this one. Maybe someone else had the same problem.
