At just over 5,000 miles I think have developed an oil cooler leak. The other day while doing some mild wheeling I began to smell burning oil smoke. I stopped at the first place I could and looked under the Jeep and found a small amount of engine oil dripping down the left side of the transmission on to the exhaust pipe and dripping off the back of the transmission pan. I also checked the oil level in the engine and the level was fine.
When I got home I got out my inspection camera and began to look for the source of the leak. I did not find the leak, however I found puddled oil in the valley below the lower intake manifold where the oil cooler is located. It appears that the oil was puddling there and when I went up a steep hill the oil ran out and down the transmission onto the exhaust.
I will be taking the Jeep to Carson City Jeep, Nevada on July 31, 2018 and have the leak fixed under warranty. I have had great service at Carson City Jeep and hope it can be fixed the same day.
Attached is a photo of the oil puddle taken with an inspection camera inserted under the lower intake manifold, and drips from my transmission pan
