Oil filter canister leaking

I believe there should be a gasket there, if it's the replaceable filter type.  If it's the sealed type, where you replace the whole canister, then it's bad. 

 

If it's the sealed type and you want to convert to the replaceable type, they make a kit for Jeeps that can be made to work, it's not a bolt in but the fab isn't hard.

A paper type gasket usually doesn’t hold up very well under the shear forces as you tighten the nut, but it’s good to hear that it’s holding up for you. I would recommend replacing it with a plastic/nylon, or copper, washer the next time you change the filter.
