oil leakage

I have oil leaking from my B&S 22 HP engine. This just suddenly occurred. The engine has 400 hours on it. It looks like it is leaking around the oil filter. I changed the oil and filter thinking maybe a bad filter, but it is still leaking. Does anyone know, what looks like a square head set screw one the engine block, where filter screws on, is for? I was told to try and tighten some bolts to see if that helps. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated.

Low oil pressure shutdown switch, saves engine when oil pressure drops. Engine cold, remove oil filter & inspect housing for being cracked. Let us know what you find, thanks.
