Did you use a VW or Mann filter? I have the same problem if I use any other
type of filter.

puddle of oil (that must've happened when I started it).  Looks like it's
coming out of the oil filter housing here (arrows - picture is before the
leak): http://www.epix.net/~rhock99/leak.jpg

some would settle in when I drove it around.  Checking it today it was at
the 3 quarter mark.

designed to leak in the event of overfilling?
