Default One Piece Rear Main Seal!!!

I have been reading a bunch of forums and asked a bunch of different auto parts store about this. I have a 91 xj sport. with the 4.0 I6 and i am having the Notorious oil leak from the rear of my oil pan. So before i went into this project of doin myself. i asked around and did alot of research on this. Everything lead me thinking i had the 2 piece rear main. so i got everything that i needed and i rip it all apart and shockingly i have a ONE piece. Now do i have to pull my trans for this??

I dont know what is wrong with my jeep. if it is like a jeep that was only made for a month or something. But i have ran into a bunch of other parts that i cant find or are not even close to fitting. Im not sure if this is the year they started changing alot of stuff. like maybe this jeep was made mid year or end of the year and changed something from the early year models or what. but its really being a pain in my ***... anyways if anyone can help me out with this one that would be great.

Betting this guy is thinking the rear portion of a 1 piece oilpan gasket is the rear main seal?

OP.. did you drop the rearmost bearing cap?
