Description of the problem	The oil cooler failing, leaking. I have just discovered that my oil cooler is leaking from a puddle on the ground and my lower engine full of oil. I got no warning light. If there had not been a noticable puddle i would have never noticed it. If not my motor would have locked up and would need to be replaced. I checked my oil level and no oil is on the dipstick. I have done research and found that this is a very big problem in the jeep community. I strongly feel that this should be recalled and repaired. If it was a here and there incident, it would b different. But it's a very big problem. In the photo look to the left of the oil filter housing. It's a puddle of oil. The price of oil is not cheap. Neither is the time consuming and cost of the repair. Please add this to the recalls for this vehicle.
