2WD (as in your sig') is a bayonet fitting, 4x4 is screw fitting.

Mine's an original one mate, and I have an oil leak from there too. Was gonna make up a gasket out of Weetabix box, see if it solves it

The 4x4 (89 model year onwards ) one i bought has a nice thick rubber ring around the top to seal it.

I have a brand new one never even out of the packet, for 2wd.
I will see if I can decipher the part number for you.
