Although there may be a comment added later by another poster that described replacing the "other" gasket, I actually never came across those buried comments until after I had already performed my OFHG and Oil Thermostat Housing, aka Oil Filter Control Housing …

Mine were at 109k when I replaced them but were leaking long before that.

I did the OFHG and OCG and this guide was a lifesaver.

I also replaced the Serpentine Belt because the old gaskets had leaked oil all over it.
