annoying oil leak
I rebuilt my 4.0 inline 6 back in march, ad ever since then,theres been a small oil leak. It's generally around 1 qt. a week and I can smell some oil burning when going uphill at a high RPM. I'm changing my oil tomorrow so I was wondering if there were any known spots for oil to leak on towards the back of the motor to check out. Thanks

Yeah a common leak place would be the Rear main seal, and whre the oil filter connects, not just the gasket for the filter but also the metal part that comes out of the block.
Also the oil pan depending on how far back it is etc. If the gasket isnt on just right.
