I think I have a rear main seal leaking I already had it fixed once before 2 or 3 years ago. I would like to have it fixed again but heard it's a common issue with 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ inline 6 motor. I was told you can go 2 ways pull motor or as last time was done remove the tranny and replaced. Before it was leaking really bad had to be towed to shop but now it's just a little slow leak. Just looking for some thoughts on what to do I use it 4 days a week to carry mail out of it so I have to have to up to shape thanks guys.

Good work. Those crankshaft seals will drive you crazy when they leak. My daughter had a Firebird with a front seal so bad the oil rushed out when you hit the brakes too hard. What a mess. Too bad the rear seal is such a PITA to get at. I hope you bought your mechanic some beers! :LOL:
