My wife and I just bought our second Jeep. Got a KK Liberty with 28k on it. We took it to our trusted mechanic and he found a cylinder head leak. Not too bad, more of a seepage.
Reason I'm posting is that it concerns me that a 28k Jeep has a seepage or leak already! Makes me wonder if I should just return it.
The dealer is definitely going to fix it. We have an appointment for tomorrow. I just know these leaks can be a pain to nail down and get completely fixed. Just worried about a car that has so little miles having a leak already. Maybe a sign of things to come?
I'm not sure what they use for sealant when installing the Head Gasket but maybe its just some of the original Sealant. If this is the case, it would probably be rubbery and not wet and dripping
Update: The dealership said it was the oil filter gasket leaking. Not sure if that sounds right. Going to take it back to our guy on Monday to make sure its solved.
My oil traveled up the first time I changed the oil on my 08 KK.
After the filter burned my hand and I accidentally threw the filter up in shock! Speaking of which...that filter has to be loosened from one side and pulled out the other due to the Aframe. Glad to see Jeep put that little guttering under there to drain it into the oilpan, though!
