I had significant coolant loss, with no leaks showing up on the ground. Oil cap also had spooge all over it when i unscrewed it. I also had the head # that was prone to leaks - I can't remember the #, but you can search for Jeep head issues. I wanted to keep that truck, but didn't want to put $2k into a truck that was worth $2k. Especially since it was our 'third' car.

So have you bought a new jeep since? or are you on the hunt?
I have question
i did my oil pan and oil filter adapter and rear main seal, but didn't do the valve cover gasket, i keep find oil spots under the car, all around the oil pan is dry and oil adapter same but keep seeing a lot of oil in the back of the engine from valve cover all the way down and on the transmission plate cover, dose the leak from valve cover gasket do that ? Under the engine between engine and transmission That from passenger side Top of engine rear
It looks like a valve cover leak. There is a chance that something did not go right with one of the other leak fixes that you did. However, if you have not done the valve cover gasket go ahead and do it using a gasket and not RTV. It is a relatively easy task.
