95 JGC with oil leak

Dave Wick did pass the time by typing:

99% of the time it's from the valve cover at the back. Wipe around the block with some paper towell to get it nice and clean then check again in a day or so.

You can remove, clean, and reseal the valve cover. A bit messy but only a two banana job.

What Doug said; usually the rear of the rocker cover. But I just had to fix a leak on my 95 GC also. The rocker cover was dry, I found out the leak was from the right angle adapter that the oil filter fits onto. We had to remove that and replace the three "o" rings. Getting that bolt loose was no easy task.

Put your finger (engine off) under that adapter and check for a drip.

My oil adapter is leaking also. Any hinks about replacement? You said the bolt was hard to remove?

Cal some adapters have a regular bolt, some, like the one on my 95 grand have a female head star point bolt. I borrowed it, I don't remember the size off hand. To get a ratchet in there you may have to move the engine over a bit. We did it with the jeep on a lift. Had to use a three foot cheater.

You get a kit of 3 O rings from the dealer parts.

I have seen them having a 5/8 (?) bolt head, some have an allen bolt head, others have a torx head. I had a shop replace mine at the time they were doing the valve cover gasket and changing the rear swaybar. I bought the orings at the stealer.

Thanks for the info!

Any comments on retorquing the head if/while I have the valve cover off? Not loosening, just running the pattern to make sure they're to spec.
