weird knock.. videos inside!
hey i got a 91 cherokee and maybe im just trippin and shouldnt worry but... after i got my new exhaust put on i noticed a little knock and a bad oil leak coming from my rear main seal . well the knock is kinda quiet and goes away when i give it gas, should i even be concerned about it? and how hard is it to replace the rear main seal?the 3rd video you can hear the knock pretty good and the first video you hear the little clank when my jeep starts. ouch. thanks

noise
Check your fly wheel bolts. I had a 99 cherokee country that was making a knocking sound like that. It would go away when i would gas it or just be driving around but then it would come back when I stopped. My problem ended up being the that the fly wheel bolts were loose. Good luck.

or the Flexplate cracked. Replaced mine twice allready. if thats the case while your at it check the rear main while it's off. ifs thats not leaking then valve cover it probably is.
