Oil Leak Found

After chasing an oil leak on right front side I finally found the major culprit.('93 9000cse) It was the o-ring behind the oil filter housing. Not a big job to change it but a big job identifying it in cold weather. Changed the following 0-rings in the process: oil sender, oil return tubes to filter, crank seal, oil pump o-ring. What a pain in the back to pull the starter and jam the flywheel pulley to get the crank pulley off. Wasn't psyched to try the starter/breaker bar trick.
I'd recommend changing the o-ring behind the filter housing with the next oil change if yours hasn't been changed and you're losing oil. It's an easy job. After pulling the filter, take off the two return lines to the filter housing and then pull off the 27mm nut in the center of the housing. The housing will drop off the block into your hand.
