i just installed it today. and i retightened it after it ran for about 10 mins.

 

check the o-rings,if your brave enough wipe it all down then lay there and watch with it running that will show you where its comeing from.It took me awhile to track all my leaks down,I think I finally got them all, knock on wood.

 

yeah. ive been under it while its been leaking. and running. the leak looks like its starting in between the bellhousing and the back of the oil pan.

 

then that would be the seal

 

darn it. thought so. so no point of checking the oil filter adapter then?? but on a scale from 1-10 how easy would installing a new rear main seal be??

 

depends on your knowledge of mechanics, if your really good a 4,not so much a 9,its one of those take your time deals.

 

if you do it your self, do both front and rear seals along with the gasket,it my also consider doing a new oil pump to depending on your mileage

 

oh dammmmnnnnnit........ well i guess i better order the part soon then!.... would ramps be good enough to get under the jeep? to get it out.

 

you need to put it on jack stands to get enough room between the axle and pan,the suspension needs to fully droop

 

any sites to get the front seal? or what is the actual name of the front seal. autozone has the rear seal. and the oil pan gasket.

 

I get all my stuff at Napa, its just the front and rear main seals for your year,that should be all they need to know

 

oh, alright.. im going to have to look at it then... but by suspension drop does that mean coils and shocks? and just have the axle drop ??

 

unbolt your swaybar and top shock bolt to let it droop fully,you might have to un-bolt your starter to,but thats it

 

ok. that doesnt sound to scary..

 

its not,just take your time, make sure all the surfaces are clean,you should be good
