oil leaking
In between housing and oil filter ? Smelled oil and saw a stream coming from filter area.
Replaced filter and leak still there . Truck is an 2000 F250 w/ 156,00 mi what would be my best bet , replace housing or a filter relocater ?

What motor do you have?
It's leaking where the oil filter screws on? Did the rubber gasket from the old filter come off and stick to the housing? Is the plate the filter mounts to damaged or have a gouge in it?

Its a 5.4L . Yes where filter screws on . No gasket still on filter . I cleaned the plate well and put oil on new filter gasket . I removed new filer again and inspected plate nothing seems to be wrong . Called my Mec. and hes known for leaving me hanging . So i went to Napa and they tried to sell me a gasket - but the one that mounts betwween engine and housing .
