Search Results for ‘oil leak’

I have been trying to track down a major oil leak for 5 months without success. What is this hose that is covered with oil? Do our models have an oil cooler?

I am seriously struggling trying to figure out where my oil leak is coming from. Around February I noticed a bit of oil under my car, it is now a lake. The weather was too cold initially, so I just dealt with it. The car is leaking about 1qt every 100miles. It is a BAD leak. It is seeming to...

I've read many threads with issues similar to mine, just figured I'd put my experience out there. Symptoms: Randomly, at idle, the car gently shakes (rough idle) with rpms hovering around 900-1000 rather than the usual 600-700 Rarely, at idle the engine will just stall, either backing up or at...

While searching for a serious oil leak, I found that my valve cover was missing a bolt in the back. I know now that it is INCREDIBLY difficult to get to which is why it was probably left off in the first place. I’ve tried every swivel socket and extension I can think of. Does anyone have any...

so seeing all the issues the pentastar motors had with the oil filter/ cooler housing either cracking or leaking, Has anyone every heard of or seen a aftermarket aluminum one made to replace it ? I mean it should be simple enough to machine /make one to both accommodate the stock cooler and...

I've read through the forum and came across lots off answers and curious if any1 has experienced this same issue as me. I have a 2001 jeep wrangler 4.0 3spd auto. has roughly 120k miles on it. I bought it with 105k miles about 2yrs ago with an oil drip here and there and noticed the oil pressure...

I drove from Dallas Tx to Las Vegas Nevada and noticed this on the way. I can't quite tell where the oil leak is coming from but from under the car it seems to be coming from the upper left and right side of the transmission pan. I can smell some oil dripping on to the exhaust too. I only lost...

Hey guys! I'm looking into purchasing my first jeep, but I'm not very knowledgeable on them. Not too sure if it's a good buy or not. It is going to be a project car, so it's nothing too fancy.. It does need a starter, new battery, and has a small oil leak from what the seller was telling me. Im...

I have a 2006 wrangler. I recently replaced the oil pan due to a stripped drain plug. the oil pan was leaking as well so it was time to fix. after the oil pan was replaced/fixed I noticed a new leak coming from the drivetrain area. I looked above it and it seems to be coming from the engine...

Really need some help. 01 WJ 4.0 that just won't quit leaking. Just got it and got nearly all work done but this. The oil pan needed to be replaced as the drain bolt would just spin, the nut weld broke lose inside. Either way, I know going as far as the oil pan it's smart to do the RMS too...

Hey guys, I just bought a 1998 cherokee 2 dr rwd 5 spd manual. I drove it home (15 miles) and then around the neighborhood a bit. I came out a few hours later and there was a big puddle of oil under my gas tank... It was brown so definitely not gas or trans fluid. I crawled underneath and it...

I have 06 unlimitited. 4.0. My valve cover by the injector rail, towards the firewall had a lot of built up sludge. So I removed couple things to get down where I can clean it off somewhat. There was a heat shield I pulled off. But it kinda just ripped apart and now is no good. Got most of the...

Hi jeepers!!! I was changing the sparkplugs on my jeep, i found oil in cylinder 1:confused:, all of the others cylinders were ok. The engine my jeep has is the 2.4l powertech. I am really worried since i already got paid for the jeep, i have to give it to her tomorrow.:confused: I am going to...

Hello, today I took the jeep out on the road for the first time and I noticed that there is an oil leak near the passenger side. I noticed it was dripping from the leaf spring on the passenger's side and that it there was oil on the base of the battery as well and the surrounding areas as well...

Just bought a 2nd jeep, a 92 yj 2.5 liter with 217,000 miles. It was blowing oil on the passenger side of the engine compartment. I removed the valve cover, cleaned out the baffles (heavy build up), cleaned the ccv valve (the elbow in and the brass out), can blow through the plastic "hard line"...

As the title states, I have a mysterious oil usage phenomenon. When I fill up my gas tank I always check my oil, and if the Jeep has been driven locally it uses about half a quart. But, on long highway distances it uses almost a full quart. Funny thing is, there are NO leaks that are evident...

OK so this is a problem that has plagued me for a while now. I've got some oil dripping onto my exhaust, which creates some really bad fumes once the pipe gets hot enough. The problem is I can't tell where exactly the oil is coming from. I DO know it's not coming from up top (head gasket and...

A productive Sunday and Monday: Upgraded valve cover to an Omix aluminum one, new gasket (Felpro Black), upgraded Ford distributor cap and rotor (Team Rush), new plugs, new wires, new thermostat and gasket, new oil & filter, cleaned and painted air cleaner, and topped off tranny fluid. Cranked...

First off my CJ rarely leaked. in fact sitting next to my buddy CJ we use to wonder if there was any oil in mine because of the territory marked by his. I just installed a Howell FI and a HEI Dizzy and now I have oil blowing out my oil fill, under the Oil Breather Cap. I wouldn't worry if it...
