About the only thing near the oil filter is the figure 8 O ring. It seals the oil filter / cooler base to the block. Sometimes this O ring will get hard as a rock over time and leak.
The other option is the oil pan gasket. Check to see if the bolts are loose. They tend to loosen themselves up over time. Don't over tighten them if they are loose, they only take 10 ft. lbs of torque. Not alot at all. I have actually seen them drop out completely.
These are really the only two things close to the filter that may leak.

If you've had your rear valve cover off recently then it may be one of the 02 sensor wires wedged between the cover and the head.
