Front end oil leak. HELP!
So I have a 91 4.0 H/O that has a leak that appeared to be coming from the front of my oil pan but I had that replaced and its still leaking pretty bad. Any Ideas?

So just to update like I said I would I did some work on my jeep today and got a good look at my oil leak. And it's the crank shaft seal. (front main) but I also noticed my oil pan is missing two bolts. Haha. But it's not leaking around those bolts (knocks on wood)

Oil filter housing
Come to find out if you replace your oil senser and it is still leaking
it might be your oil filter housing, It has 3 orings in it and most think it is there main seals. It is a bugger to remove. I tried gave up and took it to a shop he almost broke it and gave up,
