So, i'm been on the look out from where my jeep has been leaking oil. I'm planning to replace the OFA O-rings this weekend.
But it looks is leaking from the cylinder head? Anyhow i'm power washing this area before doing the o-rings can someone tell if this is where my problem is?

 

Mine is like that also. I believe it's from the valve cover gasket leaking. Subscribing to the thread though in case I'm wrong and someone else knows what it is.

 

Well, I replaced the valve cover gasket about 8 months ago and the oil pressure sender. The oil filter o rings was replaced about 3 years ago, i'm doing it again this weekend i will updated this so... Let's see.

 

Use good o-rings.

 

Local Jeep dealer got me for $14 for the 3 OFA o-rings the other day.

ouchie.

 

Yeah, but you know they are quality materials versus the junk that's out there.

 

It's have to be OEM, not so many choices around here. Thanks

 

Damn right that cheap junk did not hold up on mine either when I first bought it shop installed them. Second time around I insisted they use OEM from Jeep 3 yrs now and no leaks. The first set came from O'Riley's where he bought them.

 

So after cleaning the area, i noticed that it's leaking from the cyl head/block area now i'm undecided what to do because ain't a cheap repair to do right now!






Clean oil filter area and oil sender unit.

 

Attach a Kotex to the area and change it every 28 days.

 

That leak was for only like an hour drive. I'm losing a quart weekly, maybe burning oil too but not overheating. The jeep ran great, a bit noisy (rattling) uphill. Maybe is worth repair it, don't know when tough!

 

LOL!! Thanks cruiser54, i was thinking spreading rtv without removing the head at all like this one for a maybe a temporary fix!

 

Worth a try I guess.

Do it at night with the engine cold. Clean the area real well with brake cleaner and let it dry thoroughly first.
