Good evening to all,
I just purchased a 95 Wrangler YJ. Has a small oil leak at rear of engine. From what I've read, the usual culprit is a bad valve cover gasket. Upon a visual inspection, and a quick feel behind the valve cover and on top of the bell housing, I can detect no oil leaking. I am guessing a bad main seal. Is this a death sentence for the engine or a repair that can add many more miles of enjoyment? The leak is not that bad now, but how soon should it be addressed? I am not much of a mechanic, but am not affraid to tackle a repair job. Difficulty level? The engine only has 72K miles on it. Is this a common occurance? Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
