Oil Leak Question
Hey gang! So I have a 2017 JK with an oil leak...seems to be running down the back of the engine and dripping off the frame in middle/passenger side. I looked up top near the oil cooler/filter housing and it looks to be a little wet with oil, so I'm guessing that's what it is (especially considering the crazy subzero temps we had a few weeks back).
She's under warranty, but the mechanic they want me to take it to is about 45 minutes from my home. Do we think it is safe to drive that far? I have plenty of oil and planned to top it off before leaving, but I'm worried about damaging anything if the oil gets low...if it helps, it is basically a straight shot down the highway. What does everyone think?
Thanks all! 😎✌️
