Oily YJ 4.0L valve cover
 

Please help. My 95 YJ Sahara's valve cover started to be covered by an oily
film after 55,000 miles or so. What is the cause of this? I had read
somewhere the breather valve at the rear of the cover is to blame and should
be replaced. Is this correct ? I keep my stuff in great condition and want
to stop this if I can. I appreciate any help or advice you can give.

Thanks,

Jeff

Check your air filter, is it full of oil?

Sounds like it might be time for a new valve cover gasket. They eventually
all start to leak around the valve cover on the 4.0L.
