i know this is a long shot, seeing as how none of you guys are here to actually look at my truck, but i thought i'd ask for some ideas to bounce around in class tomorrow...
my xj has leaked a BIT since ive owned it. some days not at all, some days a couple drops when i park it. today i took it to get gas and some coffee to study on, and when i started it it idled funny for a minute, then it drove great. at the gas station it leaked a basketball-sized puddle, ditto for when i got back to the gf's apartment. it still runs great, has plenty of pep and is making great oil psi as per the guage in the dash.
the oil is dripping/waterfalling from the front lip/bottom of the grill on the driver's side. i would think front end of the motor, maybe front main, but the oil is pretty much strictly on the driver's corner of the engine bay. was too dark to poke around under the hood, so i only know that there is oil everywhere under the radiator, driver's side.
last oil change (500ish miles ago) i upgraded to a heavier oil, to try and help the leak and psi problems. anybody got any ideas?
