Ok well, I thought i had escaped my oil leakage problem when i sold my old Xj and up'd to a 97...but NOOOO....... Im a little bit weird about oil leaks...I hate em. Well I got a buddy of mine who is very mechanically inclined and has a nice little garage with lots of tools. Well I know for sure that my oil filter adapter is leaking and im thinking its the culprit of the mess under my jeep. Its not terrible, but I know its there, so thats bad enough. I know that the newer model XJ's have the T60 bolt to get the adapter off the block, but does heat generally work on these? just to make it a little easier? Also how dependable are the o ring kits from say O' Reilly's? the only jeep dealership is a good bit ways from my house and would have to make 2 trips, since they make you pay for the part before they will order it, or any place online where i can get it delivered? And also figured i would do the Valve cover gasket at the same time, leaving only the RMS to be left and will end up doing it this summer, but I have heard that you can just use RTV with no gasket on the valve cover... I just dont trust the cork gaskets too much and am not shelling out 60 bucks for a rubber gasket.
