Consumer Description
I TOOK IT TO BIG O TIRE TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED AS I KNEW THAT SINCE I HAVE OVER SIZE TIRES AND A LIFT KIT THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING OIL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND CHECKED IT WHEN I LEFT WINSLOW AZ. TO GO HOME TO KINGMAN AZ. AND IT WAS JUST A BIT LOW. SO WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM BIG O TIRE FOR THE BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL (THAT'S A 186 MILE TRIP) AND THEY FILLED IT, I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO MARTIN SWANTY CHRYSLER JEEP IN KINGMAN AZ. WHICH IS WHERE I LIVE. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SPILL FROM WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT OIL CAN HENRY'S. THEY CLEANED IT UP A BIT AND CHARGED ME 72.00 AND TOLD ME I WAS GOOD TO GO. I TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH AND FLUSHED THE ENGINE VALLEY OUT REALLY GOOD AND DROVE IT HOME. I LOOKED IN THE ENGINE VALLEY AND VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS ONLY WATER IN THE VALLEY AROUND THE OIL FILTER, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS FULL OF OIL AGAIN, SO I GOGGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THIS ON HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/F274/2014-CRACKED-OIL-COOLER-HOUSINGS-LOOKS-LIKE-A-SERIOUS-ISSUE-698297-13.HTML WRANGLER FORUM AND SEARCHED FOR 2014 JKU OIL LEAK AND FOUND IT TO BE A OIL COOLER LEAK THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMMON ON THE 2014 MODELS AND MOST DEALERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT ???? THIS IS FRIDAY 09-12-2014, THIS IS MY WORK VEHICLE AS I WORK PIPELINE. I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER MONDAY. *TR
