Oil leak from the front of JTR

[ShadowsPapa]

I'm at 77k and two and a half quarts low. They think bad crankshaft seal, but also no oil drops.

PCV issue? 2020-2022 are covered and there's a new PCV number for them.

I don't know, but I'll ask next week.

I keep checking my oil levels every couple of days and I am not losing any oil. I guess I got lucky and the dealer spilled oil or fixed the leaking oil filter seal fixing the leak.

I hope yours is an easy fix and the crank seal is $25 at the local dealer so whatever the price you is all labor. I was priced around $600 to replace the crank seal

a half quart of oil through a seal would leave quite a mess - that's one reason I suspect he's got additional issues.
Take just 4 ounces of oil - 1/8 of a quart, and dribble it across the front of an engine - it would be a mess.

Also had the u0300, u0305, and u0306 misfire code. From @ShadowsPapa I had the TSB for the camshaft, but they are going with the crank shaft at this time.

Has anyone else found a leak from the front of their Gladiator? I started noticing it right after the last oil change and it looks like its coming from the front of the engine because I can see oil around the front of the pan and on the front differential

I wonder if the oil fliter gasket isn't bad since its located near the front but cannot really tell and just figured out it was my vehicle leaking. The dip stick still shows oil on it but I cannot tell exactly how much

With no warranty I guess i will diagnose on my own LOL

I will see if the dealer is open tomorrow and see if they will look at it since they changed the oil and there was no issues before hand. I just discovered the thread talking about broken filter housings

In my experience, that's usually due to the person refilling your oil spills some, it runs down the engine, and you see a puddle in your driveway.

I had valve cover gaskets replaced under warranty around 35,000 miles
