| Description of the problem | I had my vehicle in for an oil change exactly 2 months ago, mileage was at 58733. The other day after a trip out of town, i noticed a large puddle of oil under my car. Take my car in to the dealership, mileage is now at 60579, thinking maybe something wasn't tightened properly after the oil change to find out that my oil filter adapter housing is leaking down the bell housing. The oil leak was noticed while vehicle was stationary. My vehicle is no longer under extended warranty, it just ran out 7 months. Repairs cost me $1200. 00. I reached out to dealer after reading all the known issues with this problem with jeep and asked if the housing could have been cracked upon the last oil change. Obviously, i do not really drive that much but after this long trip is when the oil really poured out of the car. |
