| Description of the problem | Had oil changed by dealership and began to smell a burned oil smell. Thought maybe oil dripped on engine during oil change. Then noticed small oil puddle under jeep in parking spot and oil on underside of jeep. Took in for service and dealer stated saw oil but no idea where it's coming from, washed down engine told to watch for oil. Oil leak continues to worsen and call for appointment which is 2 weeks out because loaner is needed. Oil down 1/2 quart from leaking. Come home tonight and large oil puddle under jeep. Lift hood and take off engine cover and a large pool of oil on top of engine right next to oil filter housing. Do some research on web and it appears that cracked oil filter housings are an issue on the 2014 wranglers. Call dealership and they are unable to move up appointment because no loaners are available. Tell me to keep driving and just topping off oil every day even tho my new wrangler is now covered in motor oil on the whole underside. Here are pics of the issue and information on the problem.
