ccv hoses i never done it but it looks pretty easy on my 89 at least. Would go down there and tighten all the bolts on the oil pan to see if that stops the leak but if it dosent u might just need a gasket. That thump could be alot of stuff, is it when u go over bumps or is it all the time?

Its prolly need a new gasket then. Have some one drive and watch the back of the jeep see what everything does. it could be the leaf spring, could be the shocks or could it be something you even have in the back of your jeep.
