Default Bad oil leak

Ok guys I have a 93 4wd 4 door blazer 4.3 with 73000 miles on it. Started leaking oil pretty bad over last couple days. Just crawled under her to see where it was coming from and it is pouring from the block that is next to the oil pan on drivers side. This block has 2 hard lines that I think go to the remote oil filter. Does anyone know what this block does and does it have a seal or gasket ? Dont wanna pull this off till I know what it s purpose is or what it s called. Any help would be great....thanks guys.

I believe this part is called the remote oil filter adapter. On the CPI blocks, I think there is a gasket between the engine block and the adapter as well as an o-ring seal between the lines and the adapter.

The only thing I could find is the Dorman kit (#82560) which is a somewhat universal kit...

Thanks brother for the quick reply will look it up.

Is it possible to change the gasket and seal without removing the lines going to filter housing you know how plumbing is best not to mess with unless absolutely necesary
