    That aluminum one looks good, I strongly believe if it aint broke don't fix it, but I may need to suddenly "break" and replace my plastic one....

    Happy to report that so far so good. After installing the OEM filter housing cap and filter, the oil leaks/weeping have disappeared. I'll monitor it for a few more weeks to make sure it's all good. My advice to anyone planning on doing an oil change. If you have the plastic housing, I'd consider just replacing it with the aluminum one just so you don't run into my issue.
