Hi all,
I'm having a slow oil leak coming from the very front of my oil pan where it meets the bell housing in my 96 xj sport.
I'm well aware that slow fluid leaks are inevitable in a 21 year old vehicle, and I'm not overly concerned about it (as my oil level doesn't seem to be dropping, I've been checking it frequently). I will probably replace the oil pan gasket as well as the rear main seal the next time I change my oil just for good measure.
I am honestly trying to satisfy my own curiosity more than anything. The oil doesn't seem to leak while the jeep is running, and also doesn't continue to leak while sitting. It ONLY seems to leak when I initially shut the jeep off (5-6 drops) which I thought was a bit strange.
Has anyone else experienced this before?
Thanks in advance,
John
