Default Oil filter mount (12V engine) - can this thing be replaced?

Found an oil leak, traced it to the oil filter mount. How much to replace this thing? Thanks.

Default There was a write up about a year ago regarding an upgrade to the B5 S4..

heat exchanger. I did the conversion a few months ago and it is working great, no leaks. I paid under $175 including taxes for all of the parts.

To answer your question though, yes it can be replaced. Not a hard job for DIY.

Curious, what is the advantage to the B5 S4 oil cooler?
