Newb Oil Filter Question

How does the right angle adapter have more places to leak? It has the gasket on the block like the plate and the filter has it's seal that no matter which one you use has the same gasket.

I count two possible leaks for both.

Besides that, filter length matters. With the same exact Wix filter in short and long, the short filter was down on presser by 10-12 pounds across the pull.

That's a lot of pressure loss. On the next test I'll measure the pressure in and pressure out for both filters. That may surprise some folks.
