Default oil pan gasget leak 91 wrangler six cylinder

I have an oil leak coming from the oil pan area on a 1991 wrangler
straight six engine, i need to find out if the main seals need to be
changed with the oil pan gasket.
Thanks

No, you can change the pan gasket w/o replacing the main seals. Before you
leap into this, check to be sure the leak isn't oil running down from a
leaking valve cover. It's really common for the valve cover to leak in the
rear and run down emulating a leaking rear main or oil pan leak perfectly.
Wipe the back of the valve cover well, drive a while, then check it again
with a clean rag or paper towel.
