This depends on the car, make Model, year and engine type.
Usually this is a snake pit of trouble
The gasket or O ring will normally not fail unless the parts are warped or cracked, but the customer wants to know up front what it will cost.
Most service people quote the job at gasket change price, this causes the customer to feel he has been ripped off when the true cost of the repair is billed.

Bad oil leak in ford escape 2005 its coming from the oil filter gasket housing is that hard to fix and is it expensive to fix?
This may or may not be the solution for you, but check this out for starters. Some oil filter gaskets are not well bonded to the filter, and as a result, when you remove an old filter, sometimes the old gasket will stick to the engine. If you don't notice, and install a new filter while the old gasket is still stuck there, the new filter will not seal properly and you will have a serious leak. If this turns out to be the case for you, simply remove the old gasket, inspect, and reinstall the new filter with its own gasket. If the filter's gasket looks damaged, or deformed in any way, you're best off buying and installing a new filter. (My personal opinion and advice: don't waste your money on cheapie filters, they're not worth it. Stick with a brand name you trust)

You may have to wiggle the housing a little to get it loose. There are also two oil cooler lines running to the housing you can remove both, I only removed the top one.

What if your pro line sand filter keeps blowing water out between the filter top and the selector valve housing any ideas?
Confused by what part you mean by the filter top and the selector valve housing. If you mean between the filter body and the filter head, it means you need to replace the gasket between the two. Simply remove the filter head and inspect the gasket that sits between the filter and the filter head. If there are any tears or several nicks in it, go to a pool store and just pick up a new one. If you mean the filter head is leaking, it most likely means the spider gasket is leaking and needs to be replaced
