I suppose I need to get under there again and visualize it. I'm thinking about removing the IP to do the gasket, and, at the same time might turn up the wick a bit.

IIRC, the bracket is secured to the IP with one bolt. This bolt looks like it's impossible to access with the oil filter housing in place, correct??

Then the bracket is secured to the block using two bolts. These seem accessible, even after the oil filter housing is installed, correct??
