I picked up a WJ pump and swapped it in my 97. The WJ pump has two return fittings on the reservoir while the XJ only has one. Everything I read said to cap the smaller one higher up on the reservoir and use the bigger fitting on the bottom of the reservoir. Well the pump works fine, Jeep drives fine, but the fitting I capped won't stop leaking! I used a vinyl universal cap I found in an assortment over by the vacuum section where you also find the rubber caps for capping off things like this. Normally I use rubber but I have had the rubber ones dry rot and go bad sooner than I would have liked so I figured I would get more life out of the vinyl ones. Well I capped it off and even put a small hose clamp on it to secure it and the darn thing leaks! I even tried replacing it with another one and it still leaks! Anyone else had this fitting leak? It leaks pretty good too, I usually have a 3"-4" diameter spot underneath the Jeep in the mornings when I come out to go to work.
