I have just over 27k miles on my 2021 JLUR with the 2.0 turbo engine, and I've discovered what appears to be a small oil leak. However I'm unable to tell where its coming from. The oil appears on the bottom of where the transmission bell housing and engine mate up, and partially on the passengers side of the transmission bell housing.
Does the 2.0T have any common oil leaking issues? Any input is appreciated.
(EDIT: Gas engine only/ non e-torque)
It almost looks like a leaky rear main seal, but its too new of a vehicle IMO to have those issues... and its not an old inline six 4.0L.
UPDATE (5.2.23): Slightly worse oil saturation around the block/bell housing area. I've dropped it off at dealer after the dealer put dye in the oil.
UPDATE (6.6.23): The dealer confirmed the rear main seal is leaking (on 5.2.23), but I'm still waiting on parts (the rear main seal) more than a month later. Oil saturation around the block/bell housing area has turned into a decent drip on my garage floor. I'm avoiding driving it now due to the increase in oil leakage. My brand new jeep feels more like a old broke down Jeep.
UPDATE (6.26.23): Almost 2 month after being diagnosed with a leaking rear main seal, and the dealership finally has all the parts in to fix it. I've dropped the Jeep off, and I'll update the thread post repair.
UPDATE (7.10.23): Just got my Jeep back this evening. It took much longer than they said, but they did provide me with a rental. No leaking so far. However they did forget to put two of the rubber inspection plugs back. Arrows point to the plugs, and I've circled where the missing plugs should be.
