Oil leak

[alexa]

Drove from Georgia to Lexington ky and my 2020 Jeep gladiator sport started pouring motor oil it’s only doing it when the engine is running noticed this after I got here for all I know it was pouring while I was driving up since I see oil all over the bottom of the jeep has anyone ever came across this problem before or have an idea what it might could be .. the dealership here can’t get my jeep in until Tuesday . I was thinking maybe the oil cooler but I’m not sure

Stabbing guess, oil filter housing/cooler assembly.

How long has it been since your last oil change?

That is what I'm thinking.

The aluminum aftermarket one he shows is nice.

Removing the lower intake manifold is something I couldn't do in my driveway with my tools.

Time for a hemi swap!

I had to have that done to my wife's '19 GC Ltd., replace the oil filter assembly.

It was like around $850 (mostly labor at an independent shop) and, if I had known about the aluminum one then, I'd've had them put that one in instead of the factory replacement plastic one.

<knocks on wood> I haven't needed to do that on my JT Overland (both my GC Ltd. and JT were built in 6/19) and have the 3.6L Pentastar.

Just curious. It could be the cracked oil filter housing. I would think it would show up sooner, but sometimes things don’t really show up until a bit later.
