That is a poorly worded question as oil filters have not had housings since the 60's. All oil filters are normally screw-on cans and are totally self contained. However, if you removed the filter and have an outer shell and a paper filter in your hand, you are in big trouble because the threaded filter can base is still on the mount. Now, if you are talking about the oil filter mounting base, it can be replaced by removing three bolts. Check to see if it is available separate from the oil pump.
check that the O ring was replaced when oil filter was changed. id O ring is good and filter is tight, and housing still leaking, replace filter housing
