A photo would help. Never seen gaskets at a filter drier on a Mopar, just metal-metal flares on old ones or O-ring fittings on newer, but not at expert. Normally the metal tubes can be re-used, with new rubber hose installed. You might have to cut off the metal crimps w/ hacksaw & cutoff wheel, as I have done on several cars.

Those block style hose ends are a son-of-a-gun to get sealed when they leak. As far as I know you can't buy new ones. I couldn't find any & was told they warp over time

Ended up drilling & clamping mine like this...Not pretty, but it works!!

That was my thought also gonna pull them and drill for clamps
Thanks for your help

Could also fix the problem for good by just fetching a "Tube-O" (O-ring seal) filter-dryer and having new lines made up locally.

I took 6pk's advice and clamped the ends opposite the bolts and no more leaks yea
