Part number or source for Oil filter mount 1999 4.0 HO

Changed the oil in a 99 4.0 HO the other day and now found something very odd: seems that oil is pooling on the end of the filter (it's parked on a very slight uphill grade). Have to do a little more investigative work, but from what I've been reading, it seems that it might be the adapter that is bolted on with the torx 60 bolt. There is a VERY remote chance that it dripped from the dipstick, but I REALLY don't think that's what happened.

I came across all the walk throughs and guides, but I could not find a part number for the 99 4.0 HO dealer gasket kit. The ones I came across were for for earlier engines (http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Engine/Oil_Filter_Mount_O-Rings.htm) I did find a thread where a guy mentioned the rings could be found at Advance auto in the "help" section, but I cannot find a part number and it wasn't clear if -all 3- gaskets were in the kit or not.

My only other thought is if maybe the old seal was on behind the new filter, but the old filter is long gone so I cannot check without removing the new one. Any thoughts or help with the part numbers would be great.

EDIT: found this on amazon, looks like it's what I'm looking for, but woudl rather find local if possible: https://www.amazon.com/Crown-Automo...id=1483118105&sr=1-1&keywords=oil+filter+seal

Ok just got some "bad" info from the local deal who didn't even know what I was talking about. They gave me part number: 33002972

After looking on amazon, I found this:https://www.amazon.com/Mopar-3300-Engine-Filter-Adapter/dp/B0049EGNDQ If you check the review, the guy says it's just a single o-ring. I thought $5 sounded too cheap since I've seen people mention they are charging up to $20 now for the full kit.

EDIT: found the dorman kit listed as: 82560 http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-248...20Adaptor%20O-Ring&enginebase=L6%20242%204.0L It said it would "not" fit my 99, but I punched in a 92 just to see it it woudl go green, and it did. Has anyone with a HO used this kit with luck? It seems to have a bunch of o-rings in it, so I thought maybe ti would work anyway.

Mopar part# 1-04720363 for the 3 piece kit. I know it fits 1997-2001 and solves the drippy oil filter adapter syndrome.

im meaning when they leak before replacement, cuz that side of my block has a nice coating of oil and I think that's where its coming from, replaced the valve cover gasket, I figure its either that or the distributer o ring.
Also, when I change my oil pan gasket, would it hurt to toss a new oil pump in?
 
There's someone on CC that sells 'OFA Oring kits'. IIRC the Dorman Help OFA kit has the correct ones as well as more than you need for your heep.
