looks like theres a copper washer on there, that could be split/perished??
or a split pipe where it goes into the nut??

might be worth a look

I had this once and it was caused by me - when I changed the filter I didn't check carefully enough to ensure the old rubber seals were no longer in place. Unfortunately for me one still was and so it leaked out A LOT of diesel !!!
