| Description of the problem | I took it to big o tire to have the ball joints replaced as i knew that since i have over size tires and a lift kit that they would not be covered under warranty. I have been smelling oil for a couple of days, and checked it when i left winslow az. To go home to kingman az. And it was just a bit low. So when i picked it up from big o tire for the ball joint replacement they told me it was 3 quarts low on oil (that's a 186 mile trip) and they filled it, i took it straight to martin swanty chrysler jeep in kingman az. Which is where i live. They looked it over and told me it was a spill from when i had the oil changed at oil can henry's. They cleaned it up a bit and charged me 72. 00 and told me i was good to go. I took it to the car wash and flushed the engine valley out really good and drove it home. I looked in the engine valley and verified that there was only water in the valley around the oil filter, but when i got home it was full of oil again, so i goggled the problem and found this on http://www. Wranglerforum. Com/f274/2014-cracked-oil-cooler-housings-looks-like-a-serious-issue-698297-13. Html wrangler forum and searched for 2014 jku oil leak and found it to be a oil cooler leak that looks like it is common on the 2014 models and most dealers don't know about it ???? This is friday 09-12-2014, this is my work vehicle as i work pipeline. I will take it back to the dealer monday. |
