The original image in this thread appears to show a good example of the failure of the black seal between the glass bowl and the filter body. It looks like that seal has been seeping for some time.
I once renewed one of these in France on an XK140 /150 and I know from that experience that there are similar filters on various cars of very slightly different diameters.
In addition the actual filter body sealing area was very fine. Just be aware of having the correct seal on hand, the outer diameter of which must be a firm fit in the filter top. If that filter ring tends to drop down and out of the filter head the ring is too small.
