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
