E7 oil filter housing leak. Easy fix?

Recommended Posts

Got an oil leak where the housing bolts to the block. Would this be a relatively easy fix to do myself? I'm not sure if I would need any special tools. I'm confident I can do it myself, I just don't want to get a few hours into it, then realize I need tools I don't have. Any advice is appreciated. Thx.

It sure looks like it's a time consuming job. There's what looks like a heat exchanger above it which looks like a pain to work around. Thanks for the replies guys, gonna get into it a bit this weekend.

5-6 hours if Mack tech, maybe 8-10 for a first timer. To make installing the oil filter housing/ oilcooler easier, you can take 2 exhaust manifold studs, cut them down to an 1" long and cut slots on the tips. Ran them in the bottom holes with a screwdriver, install the gasket and housing.
