This project car shows evidence of oil leakage on the passenger's side around the oil cooler lines as well as the area around the aluminum filter adapter and engine block.

I have easy access at this point to remove the large bolt that holds the filter adapter to the block
(1 1/4" box end fits fine). I am assuming there is an O-ring to seal to the block? Perhaps O-rings at the fittings to the oil cooler lines as well? Anyone have insight into what looks like a simple R&R to help stem the flow of oil upon returning this car to life?

I am familiar with the potential leakage problem between the oil return tube and the block. The buildup on the block points to a long term leak between the block and aluminum filter adapter (for lack of a better word).
