The oil is dispensing from a large nut connecting a line into the "housing" for the oil filter, directly next to each other? 1993 chevy cheyenne 4x4 1500 pickup...135k...how do I fix/ change out parts needed? Please list parts to purchase, the cheaper the solution= better?

you might just have to tighten the oil filter or plug.

Year make and model would be helpful.
What your describing sounds like an oil cooler line and having them leak at the oil filter adapter is not unusual.
My guess is that your driving a GM pick-up of some kind.
If the oil is running out it would be best to have it towed to a shop and repaired.
An engine is a terrible thing to waste.

Any competant mechanicaly inclined guy or girl should be able to fix it. it's probably just a blown hose, but if it's specially curved you may hav eto hit the dealership. If it's an older car they may still have the part in stock, or try your local auto chiain store, and have them try to look it up. P.S. As my friend here said,, DO NOT drive the vehicle or even START it untill this problem is fixed, AND the oil level is topped back up to the full mark on the dipstick

I just went thru this! The lines are pre-formed and snap into the filter housing.These are oil cooler lines that run to the radiator.The best and cheapest fix is to eliminate the housing that the lines snap into. Replacing the lines was a pain in the azz. Next time I will get rid of the housing for sure!

oil line / oil filter your sure?
wipe all parts off near the area
if you know what your doing , try spraying at the area with good and ask your auto part store for sure what to use ie something that will evaporate quickly and not harm other parts to clean with
it maybe other parts related .... regardless ... repair asap

there is a gasket and o-ring where the adapter bolts to the block. I have seen the o-ring get old and break a lot of times. you do need to clean it and make sure that is where it is coming from. if so, just remove oil filter and 2 bolts underneath to get to o-ring.
