Ok that axle you posted is your front axle..its a Dana30. If you look on the passenger side and theres a little actuator, then is called a disconnect axle..no actuator then its a non-disco..non discos are prefered by many but either are fine..
Follow this link..it shows the varius diff covers. Only these 4 axles came factory in a cherokee. Match your cover and you'll know what you have

If you oil filter housing is leaking, you can go to a dealer and buy the o-rings needed. Probably cost you 10-15 bucks..replace o-rings and reinstall.

how hard is it to replace the o rings? Is it better to do the adapter mod than to replace the o rings?

My '91 was a cake walk to replace the "o" rings on the oil filter adapter compared to my buddies '01. He had to use some special tool to take his off.
I got my "o" ring kit at the stealership.

No replace the orings. Its super easy!!!
Once the oil filter housing is off, its as easy as pulling the old oring out and putting the new one in!
Also if your a renix, 87-90 look into the big oil filter upgrade! Its also super easy..takes 5 minutes and cost 6 bucks!
Bigger oil filters are never a bad thing!

You may have..let search and get a better answer though.
I know on my renix the filters weren't small, average size, now the ones I get are huge compared to the old ones.

Edit: you have the bigger filters adapter thing already, you just have to buy the bigger filter..Look online and you will find a list of the filters that fit.
