oil line leak

I have an oil leak at the remote filter oil line.
My question is : can I do the work myself and is it time consuming.
I am mechanically inclined but never tackled any job like this.

vics, just replaced mine last week. The hose assembly from Ford was $180. It took me 2 hours to complete. The toughest part was removing the oil filter bracket, there is a bolt on top of the frame that is hard to get at (blind).

I looked into a remote filter (ie PermaCool etc) I couldnt find the right adapter to bolt up to my 4.6L Romeo.

Forgot to mention, you might want get a new oil pressure sender, you will have to take the old one off anyway.
