It's been awhile since I've ran my Jeep...about 6 months. It has a massive oil leak that is getting everything in the engine bay covered in oil. I mean I changed my battery and there was a puddle of oil in the tray.
Now what is happening is mostly the passenger side of the bay is getting oil soaked. My front steering and susp. is soaked and dripping. Before it sat when I took longer road trips, IE 30min to an hour, the oil would even begen to spray from under the hood onto my windshield.And when I park it drips from the back and front of the engine mostly but there are a few drips inbetween.
Things I have done is cleaned the bay and watched for it with no avail as it really doesnt show untill after a longer road trip and by then it's everywhere. I have re-sealed the valve cover and replaced the o-rings on the oil filter adapter. I have been stumped on this for a long time and it seems not many people have any idea either. When I started it today after it has sat I had a few drips immediately up front and a nice puddle in the back. I guess it could be a rear main but how would the front get oily from a rear main? any out of the box ideas?
