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.
