N52 Oil Filter Housing LEAK - REPLACED Gasket and still leak?!

Hi guys,

Over the weekend I replaced my Oil Filter Housing Gasket (DIY) as per BMW saying I had a leak. I bought the gasket online installed it Friday. HOWEVER, I still have a leak!?

Below is a picture of where the oil is pooling up. If it's not the housing gasket, what could be the cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
