The oil filter housing gasket prevents engine oil from leaking from the filter housing into the engine. The oil filter keeps the engine oil clean and prevents dirt from damaging the engine. The filter needs to be replaced regularly, which is why the filter housing is easily accessible on the outside of the engine.
If the oil filter housing gasket is leaking, oil can leak to other systems. Sometimes this is clearly visible because there are puddles of oil under the car, or because oil gets onto the engine block and burns there. This causes blue smoke and an unpleasant smell while driving. Replacing the gasket, with the right knowledge and tools, is a job you can do yourself.
