95 JGC with oil leak

Dave Wick 20 April 2005 05:57:54
 I have a 95 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L straight six and 108K miles.

Where do these things tend to leak from? Rear main seal? Valve cover?
It's dripping ... I'm tired of it ... and I'm wondering if there's anything
I can really do.

It looks like it MIGHT be from the valve cover gasket ... or the head gasket
... or not.

Thanks!
Dave

99% of the time it's from the valve cover at the back.
Wipe around the block with some paper towell to get it nice
and clean then check again in a day or so.

You can remove, clean, and reseal the valve cover. A bit messy but
only a two banana job.

What Doug said; usually the rear of the rocker cover. But I just had to
fix a leak on my 95 GC also. The rocker cover was dry, I found out the
leak was from the right angle adapter that the oil filter fits onto. We
had to remove that and replace the three "o" rings. Getting that bolt
loose was no easy task.

Put your finger (engine off) under that adapter and check for a drip.

 My oil adapter is leaking also. Any hinks about replacement? You said the
bolt was hard to remove?

 Cal some adapters have a regular bolt, some, like the one on my 95 grand
have a female head star point bolt. I borrowed it, I don't remember the
size off hand. To get a ratchet in there you may have to move the
engine over a bit. We did it with the jeep on a lift. Had to use a
three foot cheater.

You get a kit of 3 O rings from the dealer parts.

 I have seen them having a 5/8 (?) bolt head, some have an allen bolt head,
others have a torx head. I had a shop replace mine at the time they were
doing the valve cover gasket and changing the rear swaybar. I bought the
orings at the stealer.

 Thanks for the info!

Any comments on retorquing the head if/while I have the valve cover off?
Not loosening, just running the pattern to make sure they're to spec.
