Oil Filter change problems for 2002 mini-s

Just recently changed oil on 2002 mini cooper-s. Have changed the oil before and did not have any problems. This time, changed the oil and started losing oil pressure at idle. The inside of the oil filter housing has some sort of valve and spring that seems to be broke and when I called the dealership, I was told you have to buy the entire housing. Of course they cannot repair the current housing. Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of this housing and where I can find the oil filter housings at a decent price?
