So I bought a 93 xj sport with 4.0 im having a severe oil leak I replaced my valve cover gasket im doing a new oil filter tomorrow if thats not it and the rear main isnt it what would cause it also the trans takes a second to shift into first and reverse and also slips out of first to nuetral when tge engine is cold any idea why

 

Did you check your trans fluid level? Check your oil filter adapter the oil rings leak when they get old... it seems..

 

1. on the oil leak check pretty much where ever it can come from ex: oil pan gasket,o ring/gasket on the base of the distributor where it goes into the block,are you sure its not the rear main you know the 4.0 are famous for it and when u replace that oil filter be sure that the gasket from the old filter still isn't on the block cause if it is that would cause a pretty bad leak
2. im not that hip to autos but i would check fluid level and im sure some of the others will have more info than me

 

I just filled the trans fluid and also does anyone here live in michigan
