This is not an easy repair in your driveway, but can be done. 1st thing, have you checked to see if the oil filter is the issue or is it the drain plug? If its the oil filter housing gasket, you will need to remove the filter. The housing is held in place by the threaded bolt assy that the filter screws onto. You will need to remove that bolt, remove the coolant hoses. Clean the engine block surfaces, for the new gasket to mate to, clean the cooling housing surfaces, install the bolt through the housing, and install the gasket onto it. Then install the bolt/housing into the block and tighten the bolt. Install the coolant hoses, oil filter. Fill the cooling system with the coolant that you removed. Fill the engine with oil, start and check for leaks.

these vehicles are notorious for leaking fuel at the valve on the back side of the fuel filter housing and when when the vehicle runs the fuel will cover the back side of the housing and run around the top kinda making it look as if the top is leaking. the filter kit for this vehicle comes with a new seal for the cap so if you replace the valve and replace the filter you should have no more leaks.

I am assuming this is a diesel 7.3l powerstroke? Leaking from housing or the drain? If the housing itself is leaking maybe the oring on the lid is bad or it is cracked. If it is leaking out the drain hose the little petcock valve is probably bad. That little hose is for draining out water in the filter housing. Make sure the valve is tightened. If it is get a new valve and install it. If it still leaks take the cover off of the motor and check the o-ring on the lid where the fuel filter goes make sure it is not pinched, hardened, or cracked. Then run the truck with the filter housing exposed and check for leaks and or cracks after of course re-installing the lid for the filter housing.

What upper portion are you talking about? Between housing and engine block? or where filter screws onto filter housing? If its where filter screws on sometimes when you chg. filter and you don't watch what your doing the old rubber Oring will stick on housing and you spin on new filter and it will leak because it will not seal because of the old Oring. Now if its comming from between the housing and block you will have to remove the housing and install a new gasget between engine block and filter housing.

there is a oring between the block and the filter housing. be carful because changing that oring is a pain kdc744

The stud that the oil filter screws onto holds the filter housing to the engine and there is an O ring between the housing and engine that leaks and is common on honda's. Removing the oil filter and then the stud will release the housing and can replace O ring which cost about six dollars at dealer.
