Getting a bit of a oil leak around the oil filter housing. the oil is hitting my belt and starting to make it squeak. Is this a common issues and is there a way to address it or said differently where should i start to look for a leak?

Thanks for the help as always!

This is a common leak. I just did mine last week. Unbolt the 2 oil cooler lines going to the housing. Take the oil filter out and there is a 46mm nut underneath. Take out that nut and the whole housing comes out with the block that the oil cooler lines go to. There is 1 rubber gasket under the housing that needs to be replaced. There is 4 bolts holding the oil filter housing and the block where the oil lines go to together. Now that the whole housing is out you can take those 4 bolts out and seperate it. When it is seperated there are 2 rubber seals that need to be replaced. Now re assemble. All the rubber seals are probably hard as a rock. The whole thing took me maybe 20min.
