    What year jeep? What tranny?

    My CJ leaked all over the place when I bought it. It had been sitting up for 15years. It did not stop leaking until I pulled the engine and replaced every gasket. Had to replace the seals in the tranny and transfer case. Had to replace all of the seals in the axle housing. No more leaks.

    Well not too sure. but I don’t think they are supposes to leak I do know I have a 98 tj and it doesn’t leak no oil pan no value cover no bell housing and no rear ends leaking. Oh and no rear main seal leaks. I have heard of some older Harley’s having leaks.

    @goinginjeep this on the TJ?
    Does it have the 4.0? If so the valve cover, oil filter adapter, and rear main seal are known to leak.
    I would start with the Valve cover and oil filter adapter (will need a T60 torx bit).
