As you are tightening the band clamp, go around the filter, and with a rubber mallet hit the ring mulitple places on the band toward the filter. Tighten some more, go around again. Do this a couple times until the band is properly tightened.
I had a tiny leak like that. It was caused by a very small pebble from my pebbletec. I now check the rubber o ring and the place it rests on very carefully.

I will give this a try if it is leaking. Going to check after everything should be dry. I did take it apart once after I noticed what could be a leak and made sure the ring was seated correctly
