Well, after sealing up my valve cover recently im still getting alot of oil leakage, thought it might have been the dipstick tube, but that isnt the source.
Entire passenger side of the block is covered in oil below the head but its not leaking from the valve cover. seems to get worse toward the rear of the motor.
Entire undercarriage is covered in oil going back, at least its keeping the rust off my frame!
PCV is recently replaced and functioning properly.
Parked the jeep for about 2 weeks while i began to pull the dash and found NO oil on the dipstick when i checked it and a HUGE puddle on the floor.
Here's what im thinking at this point:
1. rear main seal??
2. oil pan gasket?
should i also swap the pan? I'm going to pop the oil drain plug and see if there's anything below the dipstick at this point.
