| Description of the problem | I recently starting to smell burning oil in my jeep. I didn't think much of it, and figured there may have been a minor spill or the old oil was burning off after my recent oil change. But after a couple of days, the smell remained and i noticed an oil stain where i park this jeep in my driveway. I then thought that maybe my mechanic failed to properly install my oil filter after the last oil change. But turns out, the oil filter housing was leaking oil. This is potentially very dangerous and now has to be replaced. And from what i understand, this part is made from plastic and has caused many problems with this specific model year. My sister, who has the same year and model also had to have hers replaced. I only have 50k highway miles on this vehicle. I also noticed that the replacement part has a different part number, so jeep may have made a modification to the part. I hope so! |
