While I was under the jeep today (checking my oil filter number) I noticed that there is a mild oil leak coming from what appears to be an oil pump line up by the front. It's leaking at a connector. Now the leak is very mild (a few drops).

Should I take it to the dealer right away to look at or can I put it off till the next time I go there?

Be a tad more specific. Not uncommon for the Power steering hoses on the libby to 'weep' a bit. My power steering hoses have a sort of oily sheen on them all the time. These are the real heavy black hoses toward the lower crossbar between the engine and the radiator on the driver side of the engine bay-- sort of below the battery tray.

Haha yeah i have a very minor leak in the line to my ****** cooler, its just enough to see some shiny fluid on the hose, until the temp gets below 20.. then it leave little quarter size puddles overnight and will fix itself once it warms up and swells back up.
Total of about 1/3 a quart of fluid added through out the winter, nothing to worry me over.

X2, LOR, definitely power steering hoses. Your crimp-down connectors look way more corroded than mine do. YOu probably need to get that fixed sometime in the relatively near future.

High Pressure power steering line... Common problem... Replace or live with it until it fails... LOL
