It is a serious pain to access. Jack up the car and support it, take the front subframe bolts out, and slowly lower the front of the subframe with a jack, it will rest on its own unsupported, just don't let it drop. Then you have to unbolt the AC compressor, there is one nut and one bolt holding the bracket to the front of the engine, accessible through the passenger wheel well. Then there is one bolt holding it from the bottom, remove those and it should be loose, it won't need to move much. Underneath, you will see 2 bolts and one nut holding the filter adaptor, the nut actually will take the stud with it, that's fine. Unplug the oil pressure sensor that is screwed into the housing. You will see the reason for moving the compressor, one of the bolts is slightly behind it and can't be reached otherwise. Unbolt the housing and replace the gasket, reverse order to install. I don't know the torque spec on the bolts, but just get them good and snug. Remember to top off the oil when you're done!
I just did it and it was not that hard. No need to drop sub-frame. Remove air intake tube. Remove air cleaner housing. Remove tension from belt. Remove the two bolts holding the air compressor on. Nuts and studs will come together, that's fine. Under car just loosen the last bolt holding the air compressor. That will allow it to move enough to get to one of the bolts holding the oil filter adapter. Just loosen that bolt the was being blocked by the air compressor. Remove the other two bolts and the oil filter adapter will come off. Replace the gasket. AC part no 12607947. Install everything and you are done.

This did not stop the leak, I now believe it is coming from the gasket of the front engine cover that the oil filter adapter bolts too. this is a much bigger job. Bob
