92 4Runner leaking oil, looking for advice.

I've just recently, and proudly bought my 3rd Toyota . It needs a few things done before its ready for the road but I stumbled accross a leak last night. Its coming from the driver side of the Block (3.0L V6). It is a small cylinder approx. 2 or 3 inches in diameter with a bolt in the middle of it and a hose from it headed toward the front of the vehicle. It looks like it would be an oil filter for a motorcycle however obviously it isn't. Does anybody know what this thing is so that I can order a gasket/ "O" ring for it. I can attempt to get a picture of it if anyone needs. For now I'll post a picture of a K&N motorbike oil filter. (This thing that is leaking looks very similar to one of these.)
Thanks a bunch!

I thought it may be for an oil cooler but thanks a bunch! Any idea what I would call a seal kit for that if I wasn't to use part #'s? Just oil cooler adapter? or is there a name for it?
