Don't let anyone tell you to replace your Jeep's rear main oil seal until you do it first.

I don't know who designed the 90 degree oil filter mount on jeeps, but it's very bad. In any case, to fix an oil leak, you need to buy a T60 torque head. Get hit and knock out that little bit of torque. Unplug the outlet. Reach to the 90 degree angle of the oil filter and find where to insert the torque bar. Stick it in (you may have to dig up some sand/dirt) to install. torque bit. You need to craft something like a Rube Goldberg crowbar, as Jeep in its infinite wisdom used Red Locktite for the bolt that you need to remove. I used 18" x 3/4" galvanized pipe (one end flattened to fit a wrench). It broke him. Use the wrench to remove the screw. Push down to remove elbow and filter. Clean the cylinder block surface. Remove the filter from the elbow to replace the internal o-rings. Put the large o-ring where it belongs (see knee slot), add some oil to lubricate, fasten the screw without red Loctite (try blue or none at all). Tighten the screw carefully. Made. end of the leak.
