I'm assuming you mean the elbow that sticks out from the engine that the oil filter is screwed onto, not the oil filter itself. That's called the Oil Filter Adapter and the O-rings are a common failure on old 4.0s. The rings are a dealership item, you can find a number of threads with pictures on how to get the OFA off (stupid torx bolt at 9000 lb-ft and almost no room)

EDIT: That link is for the stupid CMP not CKP/CPS. An open reading might be normal on HO engines (bad on Renix), there's allegedly a writeup in the writeup section but I havent found it yet

I don't know, do you not have a shifter? It is your linkage messed up?

I can't remember which way the lever moves on the TC, but figure out which way it moves. Pull it all the forward and correspond the lever up top to the same position and there ya go.

See, I'm from Houston, so I have no idea what that feels like. Lol. It's been in the 70's for the past week.
