I'd guess almost 7 years with no major fix is doing pretty good for any vehicle.I spotted a oil leak when I removed my front diff months ago and been keeping my eye on it to see if/when it worsens,it hasn't but soon I'll be fixing it.The oil leak is from the head gasket,but only at the area where the head gasket surrounds the timing chain,not a huge deal yet but better get it fixed.It hasn't leaked enough over the last few months to form a drop,that's good,and I've been keeping a eagle eye on my oil/coolant levals.

Stupid Army,storing my KJ for 2 years was most likely the cause of this leak,took the best precautions but guess I'm not suprised.Below is a pic of the passenger side,it's hard to see but I put a yellow arrow to where the leak is coming from.

Stupid Army? Shouldn't that be Army Strong?!

Well that will keep you busy on a day when you have nothing better to do.

Water pump??

Doesn't seem to be leaking too bad. How many miles do you have on the engine. What oil have you been using??

If you can read this you don't need glasses, go Wheel your Jeep!

Yes, it's why I had no problem buying his front diff; I figured it had to be in much better shape than the one on my Jeep!

I took the road less traveled. Now I'm LOST.

At the risk of sounding stupid why would storing your vehicle for 2 years cause an oil leak?

Dries out gaskets/seals.
