How can oil housing fixed because it seems like it is stripped the time i screw oil filter back because my oil filter is leaking and i changed it twice but still leaking?

[@could_try_harder]

I'd be surprised if the thread on the engine is stripped. The oil filters are fairly soft metal and are only supposed to be 'hand tight'. The oil filter seal is made by the large rubber ring around the outer part of the mating surface. Sometimes these stick to the engine and you end up with two. This could feel like it is not tightening properly as there is more rubber to compress. And likely would not seal, leading to the filter leaking. Pull the oil filter back off, and inspect the mating surface for the old o ring material. Don't forget to top up the oil in case you lose some whole doing this.

I am also surprised because I used a hand to tight it not a tool. But I will remove it and double check

@could_try_harder I did take the oil filter off and inspect it as you said . But there is no old gasket or seal and is still leaking so I don't know what is the problem.

Just letting you know that the oil filter is no longer leaking again. I hope that is sorted now
