oil leak issues
So I drove my 87 xj from oklahoma city to houston. Got here and now I've got a puddle of oil under my jeep. Checked my dip stick and I've got snot in my oil(maybe water). Xant find the oil leak. So I checked my intake box. I've got oil all in the bottom of it and my filter is all soaked. I have no idea why. The only way that could get in there is the hose on my valve cover that goes to the intake box. I'm gonna throw a new filter in. And plug that hole. And throw a small filter on the hose. And just change the oil out. I've heard all kinds of maybees. What's everyones view on this?

that is your coolant, you probably have a cracked head. plugging that pcv vent line or whatever it is called, isnt going to fix anything. I assume your coolant level is way down too?

Good question. What is your coolant level like? Have you had to add any significant amount of coolant lately?

The level is low. Ill prolly just throw more coolant in and clean out that manifold. And change my oil. Hopefully I can make it back to oklahoma city and worry about it then
