Already replaced, but have not tightened the oil cooler lines. I was actually wondering about the oil filter housing. I'm not sure what all is leaking, but if it is not too much of a job it would be worth doing while I'm at it.
I had tried to line up the mount on one side using a drift pin, I'll dig out another one to work both sides at the same time with the mounts loose. I've also ordered the upper part of the turbo oil drain/return. I'm hoping that that is the worst of the "leaks."
