96Cherokee

Ok guys so im just assuming its my Rear Main Seal since this jeep has 320,000 km on it and its probally never been changed. But my oil is leaking down into the inspection area for my flexplate. Is this a normal spot for it to leak to?

Check the O'Ring that the oil filter housing attaches to at the block, one of my '92 cherokees started leaking really bad there and leaking down and made it look like the RMS, it was alot cheaper and easier to fix too haha

Yes, i changed my RMS at 136,000 and it was hard and brittle. Also check and make sure the back of the valve cover isn't leaking. much easier to fix the valve cover than the RMS.

NO hes telling you that the face of where you screw on filter is attached to another plate used to adapt the fiter housing theres o rings in that adapter
