Bought another XJ...1992 4.0 HO AW4.
Its leaking oil...it leaves what looks like a decent sized oil spot every time I park it...even for a short while....but I check the oil every time I get gas and its not losing a significant amount...its been a month and I havent needed to add any. Its almsot like whatever is leaking out of it is just landing in a fashion that makes it LOOK like alot of oil but actually isnt...
To give you a measure I'm used to small oil leaks leaving like literally drops of oil on the ground...this is leaving a spot that is 2-3 inches wide.
I'm kinda ignoring it but in the back of my mind I'm afraid its gonna blow up cuz I'm paranoid like that.
It feels like it runs perfectly fine most of the time...but here are the few abnormalities I've noticed
It sometimes randomly has problems cranking...
The oil pressure reads normal...just replaced the sending unit...it used to read high before that.
Very rarely after driving it a long time it spits up some coolant while its parked...but I think thats normal.
Just a note from other posts Ive read...oil is normal color...not milky or anything like that...
Anyways after all that...is there any way for me to confirm that this is just some harmless leak or if this is something serious? Any tests or anything like that? I'm just trying to avoid anyting catastrophic.
