1993 Camry 2.2L oil leak appears to be where the oil filter base is connected to the engine. Ideas?

Is there a gasket kit or O ring available, or do you need to replace the housing in its entirety?1993 Camry 2.2L oil leak appears to be where the oil filter base is connected to the engine. Ideas?
maybe one of the old o-rings from a old oil filter are stuck on there-1993 Camry 2.2L oil leak appears to be where the oil filter base is connected to the engine. Ideas?
Most oil filters already come with a gasket (O-ring) to install onto the car during a oil change. So go get a new oil filter and put that on. But first before you do that put a oil drip pan under the car because when you take the current filter off oil will spill out of the car. Then after you put the new filter on then pour more oil into the car.
either the o ring on the filter is bad or when they changed oil the crookedly twisted it on..
Yes, there is a gasket/seal under that oil filter adapter. It's easy to do. You don't have to replace the housing, only the seal.
there is a gasket on the back side of the base. the oil filter has an O ring on it. you should not have to replace the housing. do an oil change and just replace the gasket and use a new oil filter. if it persists, take it to a shop.
