You're probably used to working with spin-off filters, and the Sienna uses cartridge re-fills.
 
It's a metal cover, with fins. You get a kit to replace it, and that kit should have instructions.

Found it thanks. So Toyota trusts Joe backyard mechanic to NOT forget to install the housing O ring (packing) ??? I can hear someone winning about this oil leak, then the Oil Pressure Light came on...

I'm sure they're rather you give your money to their dealers.
 
Spin-off filters are much easier. I guess they argue these cartridges make less waste but you have to use rags to clean everything, so not really.

So where is the location of the oil filter housing? I just got a 2011 Sienna XLE and I understand it use a cartiridge type oil filter. I popped the hood and can't find this filter housing. Is it visible from the top?

Same engine as my 2007, so it should be in the same place - you'd have to peek in from underneath.
 
It's not hard to reach but ramps definitely help.
 
Here you go, I found full instructions with good photographs for reference:
