LBZ: oil filter housing leak

[sterlinLBZ]

my truck has developed oil leak and im about 95% sure its coming from the filter housing. I split it apart tonight to where the cooler and filter head comes apart and the rubber gasket wasnt in the groove for it and it was pinched in two. so i know that wasnt good for it. but now my question is, can oil leak out of that part of it? It should just be antifreeze in the housing correct? but i could see oil running out of the seam of where it joins together.

Anyone ever had this problem?

I had a coolant leak at the oil cooler housing and while trying to find it I split the cooler. Was it one of those two o-rings inside that was leaking?

The oil filter housing serves as an oil cooler also. Uses coolant to cool the oil

I know it's the cooler as well as the housing. Just don't know if oil would be able to leak through the antifreeze. It's not leaking a lot just a few drops buts it's driving me nuts lol

In the center of the coolant housing is the oil cooler, there are two o-rings where oil passes through the oil cooler. Those 2 orings stop coolant from mixing with oil
