You did not put it on correctly, its broken, how would we know why? You just joined YA today so you could ask a stupid question like this? Usually that mean a troll asker when its a silly question like this.

Disconnect the lines and install it again correctly. Make sure the white tab is in the locked position.

Check that its sealed.

Either you got a bad filter, or it's installed wrong. Either way, you should probably get it fixed to stop leaking before something more expensive happens.

You did it wrong.

It needs its clamps properly tightened.

Can be several reasons. Most likely is fitted incorrectly. Are we sure its a proper filter and not a cheap copy? Do check out how to? On u tube etc

Hi because the gasket is not fitted right.
