Any advice pls

Oil leak blow out while driving lost a lot of oil.

Oil now in the coolent.

This model has plastic Oil filter housing.

I'm guessing I'll need to change housing , oil and then flush cooling system.

Oil filter looks like the one for Aluminum not plastic housing?

Pic of both sides of oil filter

Should I upgrade to aluminum or just replace gasket ?

With that much oil in the cooling system, your scope of repairs has just gone up. Hopefully your engine is losing so much oil so quickly.
