She still leaks like a stuck pig. Pumps oil out as the rpms go up. I can live with a little drip but a half a quart a day right onto the exhaust is a lot.

Not sure about tearing it apart. A couple if more tries and I could just bring it to a shop

Leaks either from the rms or more than likley the pan gasket. How can you be 100% that the gasket finds its way into the groove on the rms cap?

I used the dual lip rms and the one piece gasket

 

if it running down the back of the motor sure its not the valve cover in he back of engine what motor is it

 

Visually can see it from underthe jeep. Not the valve cover. Oh its the 4.0 mated to the AW4.

 

theres only two thing there to leak pan gasket and rear main you said you have done these and you sure it motor oil right

 

Yea. I'm questioning weather or not I got the rear part of the pan gasket seated right. There is a groove in the cap. How can you be 100% that you have it good to go

 

you cant you have to make sure you got it in place when installing did you use a one pc felpro silicone gaskeet

 

Yes. The gasket when I test fit it to the rms cap seemed a little big and did not go into the machined channel at all.

 

puul back off and check must have fallen in the pan in the back

 

i noticed the same thing when i installed mine a while back i added some rtv to help seal if off.. to check just wipe down the area that u suspect the leak is coming from and while the jeeps running get under and see if ou notice anything.. I dont know but it could also be the oil filter housing. i remember mine was leaking from there.. and dripping down onto the exhaust.

 

Leaking from this location. It leaks more when motor is revved. Upload disabled on android phone sorry. You can see it drip from the middle of the rear of the pan

 

Tearing it down tonight again. Wish me luck. Going to load up the front and rear of the pabmn with rtv.

 

spend a couple of extra bucks for this gacket it reuseable felpro silicone

 

jw wondering how u took the old one out? when you took a little screw driver or a little pick to get the top half of the seal out did you hit it against the block at all. if u did it could have scratched it and then it will leak

 

did you replace the rear main seal while you were in here

 

Yea this sucks, I just did my RMS myself on my 01 and leaks worse then it did before!!, this aint my first RMS on a 4.0 Jeep either so I am guessing I buggered up the rear of the pan gasket, was a real PITA doing it from jackstands and on a stock height Jeep. will be redoing in a couple weekeds but this time I am going to undo the motor mounts and try to get an inch or so lift out of the engine THEN put it on jackstands.

Other RMS jobs have been a 1990 Cherokee 94 YJ and a 95 ZJ, guess I have a 75% success rate.
