Engine oil cooler went out and my mechanic wants $1100 to repair!! says they all go bad eventually start leaking oil very badly!!!!!.
Engine oil cooler assembly leaking at back of engine. Oil leaking down back of engine and bell housing creating a possible fire. Very hot smell and smoking from engine bay.
My vehicle hasn't been driven much, I work from home, I noticed a pool of oil under it, took to dealership and he oil cooler is leaking.
Oil cool is leaking after cold weather.
Engine oil cooler is out and leaking oil everywhere. The vehicle is not driveable and the part is on over a 45 day back order. No company will ever take my vehicle in due to the part unable to be ordered. Everyone seems to be having the same issue. My Jeep has 62k miles on it and is my daily driver. This needs to be recalled.
The oil filter housing is made of plastics and it cracks and oil leaks on to exhaust which could cause a fire and also environmental issuer due to oil leaking on ground. This is a big problem with the Jeep pentastar 3. 6 v6 engine. After contacting Jeep dealers to fix leak they tell me the part is on back order due to so many Jeep and cars that have this part. The number they gave me is over 40,000 and time frame of getting one could be a month. This explains why Jeep drop power train warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000. I noticed a little leak at 65,000 mile and now at 70,000 miles you have to keep adding oil or park it due to maybe it catching on fire. One dealer told me he had 30 vehicle sitting on lot waiting on part. I feel Jeep should have a re-call for this issuer. Now I have a Jeep that I can't use for a month or more if lucky.
The oil filter canister/oil cooler is cracked and is leaking oil. This is an environmental hazard. We have taken it to our mechanic and spoke with the dealership that it was bought from and have been told by many other part houses that this replacement part is on a 50,000 + parts back order and that it can take anywhere from 20-60 days to get the part in to replace it. The vehicle was stationary when we noticed the leak and never driven again after that. This tells me that this is a huge issue and that there should be a recall on this issue. I understand the manufacturing side of things but that is a large number for the back order.
Noticed oil leaking all under carriage of vehicle. Oil being displayed from front of engine to back of Jeep. Smell oil and even see smoke. Potential fire hazard.
