My blazer has a remote oil filter extension up by the driver's side fender that is leaking. It is difficult to tell whether the leak is coming from the oil filter mount or the oil lines leading to it. At first it looked like it was the seal on the filter that was leaking (the filter was covered in oil) but the leak continued after I replaced the filter. What should I try next?

You need to degrease the entire area cleaning all the oil away from the area then test drive it and look for the leak mostly around the fitting joints. This will save possible costly repairs.
