Cracked oil filter housing?

[Colorado4x4]

Greetings! I recently saw just a little bit of oil on the passenger side of my transmission. No oil on the driver side of the transmission. I thought rear main seal but it looked like it’s coming from higher up. Maybe upper oil pan gasket? Then I found this. Is this the classic cracked oil cooler/filter housing? Second photo is from the web because it was hard for me to get a good picture. If it is, seems like it would be good to replace spark plugs and coils (at 70,000 miles now) while I am at it with having to remove the intake plenum? Thanks for your help! - Geoff

Hard to tell in your picture. You’ll know right away if you pull the intake manifold or if you see oil down there it’s likely.

I believe Dorman or someone makes a metal replacement for the plastic one

Thanks guys. I will try to get a better look at it.

Kind of like whirlpool making a metal replacement upper rack guide since my plastic one busted.

Could be the oil cooler. Unless you know that you overnighted the filter cap, it’s probably going to be the cooler housing.

I took a good look in there and it’s pretty oily. It kind of looks like oil is leaking out of the front plastic welded hole, but I will take it apart and install a new one. Might as well put new spark plugs in while I’m at it!

I checked around everywhere for one a little while back. I remember seeing it once, lost the link to it and I haven't found it mentioned on any sites since...

I think I know where I saw it but wasn’t sure I should say
