nope, the 97 Blazer does not have a cabin air filter. I have a 97 Blazer as well. We just have the one rectangular air filter that's in the air cleaner housing under the hood.
Whipe all the area around cleen, fill the oil level, start the engine and see where is leeking. If its oil filter gascet leeking, change the oilfilter, clean all htat area and see if it still leeks.
If leek is somewhere else, you may consider asking for help in car service.
Either the filter isn't screwed all way in or there is dirt on the sealing surface that prevents a complete seal - take the filter out and clean everything in sight.

Hi leslieb,
First thing, we need more imfo? Does the engine make any sounds that it wasn't making before. What condition is the engine oil and when did you last change it? What engine oil are you using in you engine and what engine type is it?
I suggest you check the oil pressure sender unit switch, which you'll find in close proximity to the oil filter housing. There is a good chance that it's defective....a replacement may fix the problem....If not then you;re most probably in for an engine re-build.
I would first clean up the oil around the housing with brake cleaner. Take the car for a quick run and see where the oil is coming from.
If the housing looks good, then simply take the cap off of the oil filter housing. Remove the existing filter and discard the o-rings. Make sure you lubricate the new o-rings with some oil before installation. This could be why it is leaking now. It may have been overlooked.
Once the o-ring is seated drop in the new filter and replace the housing cap. Tighten the cap to 18 ft lbs. Start the engine, making sure the warning light goes out, showing you have oil pressure.
If your oil is that new then I would not bother with a changeover.
I hope this helps. It is an easy filter to change. BMW doesn't make too many things easy.
