While it may help to know the brand of filter you have, it's most likely not something you even want to try and fix. If it's truely leaking from a mounting bolt hole (extremely rare) the vessel has been comprimised and you shouldn't try to repair it. I'd do a careful inpsection to make sure it isn't leaking somewhere else and running down there.
