Sounds like you may have the wrong filter on there. I would pull the filter and measure the seal on it and then sealing surface on the mount. Sounds like they may be making contact but there is not enough surface contact to hold the oil in under pressure.
At 50 psi + you really need the surfaces to match up perfectly.
Also, is it maybe overtightened and squishing the gasket out?
