So I was just doing some work under my '97 Jetta TDI and noticed a little bit of engine oil on the plastic belly pan. So I took a look, and it appears that the oil filter mount has a leak. It doesn't look like it is leaking from around the filter, but more like it is leaking from the part that the oil filter attaches to on the engine. Is there a gasket that I can replace or something? Seems like it should be an easy fix. I have included a link to a photo so you can see what I am talking about.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
