Nope...no caps, no gaskets. Just a simple unbolt and rebolt. There is a little plastic shield that the sensor sits down inside which covers the gap on the bell housing, keeping dirt and other crap from getting inside of there. On a old XJ like yours, be real careful as it's going to be brittle and can break real easy. You'll see this shield that i'm talking about when you take the sensor off.
I changed the CPS on a 88 and as soon as I touched that plastic shield it snapped. Had to get creative with some RTV to get it back to one piece.

It might be stuck on the bell housing. Do you see a giant hole where it should be? If not, and it's stuck on there, that's great...leave it there!
As for where to get a replacement, i'd go to the junk yard and grab one.
