21 jeep Glad ecod (7500 miles on odo)/ crawled under and noticed 2 problems

[MantisJp]

Noticed what appears to be the dreaded oil leak. I took a few photos and wiped it down and will monitor for now.

Also noticed on the down pipe area some wiring on the exhaust in such a manner that I would anticipate problems down the road if this had not been caught and moved back behind the heat shield in close proximity. This only took a minute or two along with a long set of pliars and/or screwdriver to push away and tuck behind a close prox shield.

The oil leak to me seems like it could be originating at the corner mating surfaces of I guess the upper pan (i don't see any excess sealant protruding from this corner like in all the other areas).

let me know what you guys think.......mayb should have just got the gas motor :/ View attachment 205814

Bummer, I had started a thread about the wiring issue, they should have a sticky for people to check it, guess when the wires melt it causes big problems.

Do you have a wider shot pointing to the wiring area?

I have about 17,500 miles on mine now, picked up in January 2021.
