Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
My oil adapter is leaking also. Any hinks about replacement? You said the
bolt was hard to remove?

Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
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.

Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
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.
