There are a couple of P38 oil filter housings and even a top on it's own on Ebay. I spotted them last night and thought, "Who would want one of them?" and just moved on.
Well . . .

Have a good look at where its coming from. I had the same sympton and It does look like the filters leaking but it was the oil pressure switch (common problem) this is above and runs straight down the filter !
