Default oil filter housing leak?? How to get to it??

Hi all, Ive been putting up with a slow but steady oil leak for a few month now so I finally took it in. My local guy told me that I have a good leak coming from the oil filter housing.

I looked in my Haynes book (almost useless) and the web but nowhere does it tell me how to swap out the gasket? Can anyone help?

thanks Chris

Thanks that diagram helps a lot.

I cant really tell. I hit it with a pressure washer at car wash and it looks much cleaner but the oil is comeing down the block but where it originates is hard to tell. Ill tighten down the 5 bolts and see what happens. I cant really see where 5 bolts are. Ill poke around and see what I can come up with..

Thanks again. Chris

PS where did you get that PDF document? A handy ref to have..
