I just fixed this, its real easy
take the filter off. It sits on what is known as the oil filter pedistal. On the bottom of the pedistal is two nuts, remove those.

Inbetween the pedistal and the engine block is two o-rings. yours are probably dried up like mine and not sealing anymore. Replacements can be ordered from mazdatrix

^^is partially correct. there are a total of 4 o-rings all together. there are two between the cooler and the pedestal and two more between the pedestal and the mount on the rear iron. if you need the part number i have it available for teh new o-rings.

I may have been speaking from my experience of a '85 GSL-SE

yes there's 4 O-rings for those with the beehive oil cooler. and the O-rings can be gotten from any parts place/hardware store that sells them. just get one that fits the recess in the part.
