My 93 has it. I had to search old posts on here to find the size for it.

I did an oil change on mine and changed the OFA O-rings an I'm still leaking oil from that area. You may have over tightened your filter. I'm starting to think I did. So now it's gonna be another oil change along with oil pan gasket and rear main seal.
