Our jeep cherokee is leaking oil where the oil filter connects to the oil filter coupler. How do we tighten it down or replace the gasket?

take off filter and put on new one. lube oring with clean oil. make sure old gasket is off and mating surface is good.

if that dont work then you will have to tighten the filter up more and more till it stops
