I've been having a small amount of coolant leaking from the rearmost part of my 4.0L. I suspect it may be the freeze plug(s) on the back of the engine since it's dripping onto the same spot as my rear main leak, haha.
It's not leaking much, but when the weather warms up it seems to leak even if I haven't driven the Jeep in a few days or more. It's been leaking like this for a few months and I generally drive the Jeep a couple times a week, maybe about 40-50 miles in total each week. It runs fine, and I haven't had to top off the coolant much at all.
I'm just wondering how much longer I can safely drive the Jeep if it is indeed a rear freeze plug leaking, assuming I keep the coolant topped off. I have a camping trip coming up at the end of the month which is about a 1.5 hr highway drive each way. I won't have time to fix the issue before then, so I'm wondering if I should be okay to drive the Jeep or if that would be risky.
