Was crawling around under the Jeep today trying to trace down a passenger side oil leak because, hey, quarantine.
Anyways, until now I'd always just assumed it was the infamous valve cover gaskets but 1) I don't have the burning oil smell in the engine bay, and 2) from underneath the highest most forward point looks to be localized around the cam position sensor and running down the harness, not the VCG.
Do these leak often? Never known them to leak on other cars I've owned. If it's the issue I'd much rather swap out a CPS than do valve cover gaskets, looks to be a pretty easy job.
Still have a leak on the driver's side somewhere as well, need to pull the skid plate off and look to see if it's the oil filter or the sending unit. Those plates sure make it hard to see what's going on under there.
PS: Sorry for spamming the forum with all kinds of random posts, hahaha.
