Need a Spot
Hello, I am new on this forum and needless to say I need help. I have a 1993 jeep cherokee HO 4l in which I have a oil leak. The engine oil leak is at the Oil Filter base bracket; the one side that attaches to the engine block. It seems that there is some sort of screw holding the base bracket to the block on the engine but I can not get it out, worse, I think onthe effort of trying to remove it (since I can not see it) I have broke (damage) this screw. Has anybody done the replacement of this part before? what screw type is it (torx?)
thanks for the help.

I am preparing to replace my o-rings on the oil filter adapter. The part number for the Mopar kit is 1-04720363 and it cost $6.01 at my dealer. You will need a 14mm hex (allen) wrench which will fit inside the screw at the center of the adapter.

Thanks Airdale<
I will try that. Since I was able to put a mirror in there to the screw type, I think is not going to be easy since I beleive the screw head is damage. I have to fix it some how since it leaks a lot.
I will come back with my findings.
