95 ZJ oil leak
My 95 ZJ 4.0 auto pukes about a silver dollars size spot on the
driveway. Just started this recently, drips from the bell housing. The back of the VC is spotless has never leaked passes white rag test and looks brand new using a mirror. I tightened the VC bolts, none real loose; did not overtighten. Underneath there is a bit of oil on the filter bracket but not much. Going to clean it up and try to see where it's seeping. My main problem is how to remove the rear grey plastic elbo in the VC so I can check if there is a blockage. Just it just pull out? I was afraid to pry and break it. The plastic tube from this thing to the valve on the intake manifold is not plugged. I thought I'd make sure the ventilation system is working first before condemning the main seal. May still be the oil filter bracket though. Am going to look on ePay for a shop manual soon. Thanks if anyone can help. Fred Wesner San Jose, CA |
Re: 95 ZJ oil leak
Hi Fred,
Good idea, because crankcase pressure will be your culprit. The rubber like grommet will have harden and you'll have to break it out, so go ahead and buy one off of any parts store display rack. More than likely the electric solenoid thingie Chrysler uses instead of the normal Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, will have clogged and would have long since gone bad. Most of the Jeeps have been converted to PCV valve system, as on this carburated Jeep SMOG stuff that will be helpful on your Engine: http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/list.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Fred Wesner wrote: > > My 95 ZJ 4.0 auto pukes about a silver dollars size spot on the > driveway.

Re: 95 ZJ oil leak
Thanks Bill.
I'm going to pry it out. If I break it, I guess I'll just get a new one and plan to remove the VC and check in there too. I know where the leak is now; while under there I noticed a drip from the starter; sure enough it is the oil filter adapter. I cleaned it (and the side of the engine) with solvent then ran it for 30 minutes in the driveway and there is a very slow drip from the adapter. So I need to replace the O rings in there. I do want to be sure the vent system is working though. Again, thank YOU very much. Fred L.W.(ßill) ------ III wrote: > Hi Fred, > Good idea, because crankcase pressure will be your culprit.

Re: 95 ZJ oil leak
That's the first thing I throw away:
http://www.----------.com/spinonadapter.jpg But, apparently there's there really isn't enough room for that to work on your car.
