Confusing oil leak


Recommended Posts

Hey all..well my MJ has been down for suspension mods and interior restoration for the past 2 months..well i FINALLY got it on the road yesterday and it was awesome to drive her again...well i have an oil leak now..

 

its coming from the Passenger side of the block from between the head and block...its not the dipstick tube, oil sending unit, distributor, valve cover or the oil filter adapter as i have already reaplaced or resealed all of these items previously...now the leak was slight b4 i started working on the truck but now it worse...any suggestions on to what it is?

Head gasket...it seals the head to the block. If that's where you're leaking, that's what's supposed to be sealing it.

 

Make extra sure it isn't your valve cover. Yes, you replaced the gasket, but if the cover is warped or dinged it could still leak.
