I have a '98 XJ 4.0 with 186XXX miles on it. Bought it knowing there was low compression in cylinder 5 but not knowing what was causing it. Did a semi-long trip (260 miles) and at the end the engine was idling low and rough, and the coolant was dirty (coolant may have been dirty before). No over heating problems, oil pressure looks fine, but my coolant and oil both seem to be slowing leaking and the check engine light is on (but i don't know what code its throwing). I checked the oil for cloudiness and foam and found none. i am at a loss for what is going on. My initial assumption was headgasket but i talked to a mechanic and he thought it could have something to do with the valves. any thoughts, ideas?
