It could be the tube but you also need to check and make sure it is not the seal ring or whether it has a fine crack.
 
Sometimes the gasket that seals the canister to the motor(top) doesn't seat correctly. I have 4 xp series filters and from time to time I have the same problem. Usually I just take it off and reseat making sure the gasket is flat all the way around....

Also, make sure the hoses that connect to the filter are snug and the plastic clips are in place
