Oil filter housing leak

Hi all believe I have a small oil leak from my oil filter housing on my 850 tdi b5252 engine.
Any advice on ease off removal and how to go about replacing or repairing please
Thanks

Are you certain the leak is at the housing? Have you cleaned the area all around the housing and waited for the oil to reappear? It would be frustrating to replace the housing, only to find that the leak is somewhere above.
