Yes.

We have fixed several cars with this problem.

Happened to me, lost 2 quarts of oil, luckily enough I check my oil very regularly and caught it quickly enough.

I've had to replace them on 3 of the 4 aluminum block 4.6's I've owned. Quite common part to go and relatively easy and cheap to replace.

My car had a slight oil leak from this gasket when I purchased it.

It was very easy to replace.

Easy to replace.

Cheap part.

There may be 2 gaskets there causing the leak.
