My jeep is leaking in the front of the oil pan just above the seal. I can't figure it out

it's a constant oil change LOL

 

Could be the front main seal. or the seal on the cam. Clean the motor good, this will help with locating the sorce. Could also be the valve cover, but that usually leaks in the back.

 

I just changed the oil pan gasket and the valve cover gasket...thanks for the tip

 

if it dont leak it aint a jeep

 

Thats true

 

Tell you the true all the leaks started after i pressure washed the under carriage.. Im pretty sure mud is good for jeeps

 

My buddys leaked like that right after we did the oil pan gasket..


But it stopped leaking with in 2 weeks..

 

The leak is coming from just above the oil pan on the front driver side

 

This is also true, mud seals leaks and protect the paint from trail rash.

If you just did the oil pan, the gasket might have slipped. Guess what you get to do again?

 

93 your killin me i guess i can pull it all back apart and replace the front seals as well as the oil pan gasket

 

I had the same issue on mine, i replace the oil pan gasket, timing chain set, front main and v/c gasket and it still leaked from between the oil pan and timing cover. I ended up pulling the pan back off and putting sealer between the pan and gasket. I think the sheetmetal of the pan was tweaked from a previous gasket change. Havent leaked a drop since.-andrew

 

I'll try that because thats where its leaking from thx
