I have known 2 other people with this issue, I have been the only one with fire. My Jeep is leaking oil from the engine seal that is just above the passenger side upstream exhaust (right before the passenger side catalytic converter. I smelled burning oil and I got under the car and there was a small fire which I extinguished with my rag. The problem is also a huge health issue. If you are stopped at a light, or stop sign and have the heat or a/c on. The interior of the vehical becomes filled with the burning smell. Smoke bellows out from under the vehical at these stops also. I am afraid of the thing bursting into flames at a light and being helpless. I know 2 other people that have this exact issue. One of them got rid of their vehical, the other still has it. This is a major defect that will result in fire, or as I see it cancer due to the smoke entering the vehical. I have to clean the oil saturated area at least once a week.
