i just picked up an 89 cherokee 4.0 with 150,000 miles on it. motor runs fairly healthy no rod knock and such.....
but it is dumping a lot of oil from an interesting spot. i think i have pinned it down to the air box. not just a little blowby though. i would say a quart a day if i drive it 30 to 40 miles. i know 4.0's leak a bit into the airbox that is normal but any ideas as to why so much on this vechicle. the way the drip pattern is i cant find anywhere else it would be coming from in that area. there is standing oil on the filter and some at bottom of airbox so has to be. i thought maybe the guy had just done a oil change and overfilled but i am at add line so that cant be it.
thanks
