Oil Filter housing gasket...doable DIY?

I've got an '08 x5 3.0si that has been has been dropping a few drops of oil. Brought it to my indy...who took a look and said it was the oil filter housing gasket that's leaking. Apparently the most common oil leak on the N52. Quoted me $775 to replace that and the oil cooler gasket that attaches to the filter housing.

Seems crazy high to replace those two gaskets. I'm relatively handy...can do a complete brake service and flush etc...and have a decent set of tools. Something that is doable? Anyone here done one?
