Any chance it takes the same square seal as the top of the canister? Got any old/ spare ones around? Those seem to accumulate on me since I am usually too lazy to dig a perfectly good one out of the groove in the top just to replace it. Might just buy your next new filter and get one that way.

As CC I generally leave the seal rings alone. But after having some seeping on the bottom of the canister I ordered some of the Cat seal rings as the extra top ones where not right. Was a bigger job than I thought to dig the old ring out and clean the grove out. So I am guessing you do have some "petrified" rubber in the grove. Working with a shape pick it came out in small chunks.

You have to almost chisel those old o-rings out. It takes a 1 3/8" socket 5 1/2" deep to remove the nut. Some transmission filter housing can nuts are 1 1/2"

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
