Coolant leak from the oil filter housing

Looks like a common problem, it's plastic. Has anyone tried an aftermarket aluminium one? It looks like this should fit the i28x - https://www.amazon.ca/Aluminum-Coole...dp/B0BV1G4NLT/

Yes, common and I did the aluminum assembly.

Cool, thanks. I managed to do it without taking off the intake. Just loosened the small water pump in front of it to gin access.
