Re: 95 ZJ oil leak
 

Yes, that's the beast. Sheesh my 90 XJ didn't have this just the filter
in it's place; and it never NEVER ever leaked and still doesn't. Will
see about fixing ASAP as I've got major trip in two weeks. Again thanks
for the correspondence. I'm thinking of getting rid of it but I don't
think there is enough room for the filter.

It's keyed. There is a big tab and a little tab. How exactly it
comes out I dunno. but this pic gives you an idea.

See the valve cover and the key thingy.

The part has a similar wide side, but I can't seem to find
my old vac harness, must have thrown it away.

You don't want plastic bits falling into the oil gally.

Re: 95 ZJ oil leak
 

Thanks for the link to the picture Doug. I decided not to risk breaking
it. I'll have my mechanic check it when she (!) replaces the O rings on
the oil filter adapter which is where the leak is happening. I'd do it
except no time, I don't have the special torx socket and my torque
wrench is lost in the mess in the garage.

Thanks again,
Fred
