Hi, car's been in for a service to be ready for the national. Got new gaskets for the oil filter, lasted 20 miles before it was spewing out oil from the gasket

 

Got a second set of gaskets (Graphite?) and these were fitted today, and oil spewing out as not sealing. Anyone any ideas as to how I can rectify this, otherwise the national is a no go.

 

The garage is a well known Lotus/VX specialist so the filter has been torqued etc correctly. At a loss really, always been fine before and they have serviced my car annually for the past 7 years or so with no issues.

 

Any help/ideas appreciated. Thanks.
