i just put in a new fuel filter and it leaks.. then i put the old one on and no more leaks. so is this new filter bad? i already threw it away but if there's a solution i will go pick it up in the garbage

I would have to say its probably the washers. The new filter should have come with 2 new washers, they go in-between the banjo fitting and the filter inlet and outlet.

I have seen after-market filters come with some really "cheezy" washers..
Get some new ones from Honda..
They are usually thicker and fit the connections more tightly..
I have re-used the stock ones before even though
the instructions say not to..
