2.0 Turbo JL rear main seal

[desertdude59]

It looks like my rear main seal is starting to fail. Not bad enough to drip on the driveway yet. I took it in for an oil change at the Jeep quick lube and they said the same. Now I'm going to have to set up an appointment at the dealership. I'm hoping there is a leaking sensor up high because I saw some residual oil on the middle of the bell housing. I check the oil all the time so this must be a new issue. I'm thinking 30,000 miles is low for it to start to fail.

Well, that sucks if it really is the RMS. However, it has always been a Jeep thing, especially on older Jeeps.

The bad part is mines a 2020 with 30,000 on the clock. I'm gonna get it fixed before it becomes an issue though l.

Wouldn't it be covered under the power train warranty even if your 3/36 is expired?

Didn't they go all mealy mouthed lawyer speak on seals and gaskets when it comes to the power train warranty?

Mine 36 is up at the end of May so I'm hoping so. The 60 is up in 2025

I'd hope not. It's part of the drivetrain

Update: Well I finally got it into the dealership and they said it is the RMS. I had to make another appointment a month away for them to fix it. It's crazy how busy the dealership is.

Damn wish I was that busy

I know. My neighbor had to bring his Jeep in for the horrible 3.6 oil cooler. Same story. It was a month out for an appointment.

Update: It has been a few, but I finally got the rear main seal done. Of course there is still some oil seeping, but I hope that goes away with time. I'm not sure how long the Jeep had been leaking before I had it.
