I think its the lower one as that seems to be where its leaking from but 
I am not 100% for sure on that. How hard is it to do? do i need special 
tools or something such as to torque it to the proper torque? I been 
meaning to get some tools for doing this kinda thing but I want to know 
if its needed 100% for sure. I will look and take some pictures of where 
its leaking from later and post a url where the image is of the spot 
thats leaking.

I am kinda worried about the leak though that if pressure from the oil 
gets to high that gasket may blow out and cause my car to leak oil like 
crazy... I am just worried and it leaks alot so either way I think it 
really needs to be done.
