I have developed a significant oil leak in my 2016 Jeep JKU over the past few weeks. Ive read a lot on the forums and looks like the typical oil filter housing but I cant be sure. Would it cause this much oil to drain on the back of the engine and transmission like this with only a small puddle under the oil cooler housing? The oil level doesnt seem to be going down much if at all but its leaking a lot all of a sudden.

I attached some photos.

This ended up being the oil cooler / housing as expected. I had the local shop do a dorman replacement and it cost just at $1000 which is more than I anticipated but happy it wasnt something major.
