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.

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

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.
