Does anyone have any remedies for the cheap plastic oil cap on the renix jeeps? It leaks like crazy!!
If oil is leaking from the oil fill cap that much wouldn't that be a sign of a bigger problem? To much pressure pushing oil out of the cap because of a clogged CCV? Unless the cap is just not fitting right at all I guess...
Bingo. clean out the crankcase venting system and presto, no more leaks. I bet if you pull your distributor cap, you may find oil inside as well.
During the 13 years that I have owned the '98; I have replaced the cap twice when the ratchet mechanism stripped internally due to the heat. Verified the threads and replaced it with a Stant cap that doesn't have the rachet assembly. This replacement cap has solved the problem. The original cap was made of thin plastic where the new one is made of a more durable texturized plastic.
