alwaysoc0nfused · 09-15-2009, 12:13 PM

Hey, well i just got my 91 cherokee. I got it for free. The car has 210k miles on it and at the time nothing was leaking. Then i drove it from NYC to Grand Rapids MI. On the 800 mile drive i noticed that it was leaking oil pretty bad.

I had it looked at by a mechanic and they replaced the valve cover gasket, oil cap, and cleaned out sludge on top of the engine. This fixed NOTHING. There is still oil everywhere and I dont know where it is coming from.

Would anyone of you guys in the near by area be willing to help me out a bit? I would be happy to pay for the help. But I just want someone that knows jeeps to look at it. I am around all week just call me on my cell at 347-334-8558. My name is jeff. Thanks.

I would look at the oil pan for leaks and it could be the rear main seal...

Your never gonna learn if you dont explore it yourself... Its really not the hard to find an oil leak, Just follow the wet trail.
