first you need to locate where the leak is coming from ? is it pooling on the ground after refilling ??

The only way you can have water coming from the OIL filter is if the engine block is cracked !! .. I suspect it is leaking higher up an running down the filter .. Have a pressure test of the cooling system carried out, this will confirm where the leak is by making it stream out so you can see it better.. most garages will diagnose a problem for free in hope they get the work ?
