I've had a problem for a while that I would sometimes have smoke rolling out from under my jeep when going up longer climbs (anything classified as a "grade" here in SoCal). I assumed it was the tranny overheating, so I added a cooler and had it completely flushed. But the smoke keeps coming, and there is always oil all over the bottom of my Jeep when I get home.
I started noticing a lot of oil around the oil filter and assume that the filter housing o-ring is bad. It also looks like oil has been falling on the exhaust where it crosses to the passenger side, just before it turns to run the length of the jeep. Is the smoke coming from this leak? Why only on climbs? Tempurature doesn't matter, 100* or 50* it does the same thing.
Also, what is the part number for the o-ring, and can I get that at a parts store or only at Jeep? The guys in my local stores couldn't find anything about it.
thanks a ton
