How do i replace the oil pan gasket on my 99 jeep grand cherokee?

This is a pretty big and messy job bu tit can be done in the home garage. There is a good writeup on this site for pulling the pan on a Cherokee. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearMain鈥?/a>





It is unlikely that the pan gasket is leaking however. They seal really well from the factory. More likely is a front or rear crankshaft seal leak. The rear requires removal of the oil pan. The front does not.

You gotta get your hands dirty. you have to drain the oil and take the oil pan off and replace the gasket. The exhaust may be in the way so you may have to drop it first. Just put new oil and filter on it when your done. Oh and make sure you properly torque the oil pan back down so it doesnt leak. It isnt a first time repair job if you havent done something like that before. If your up to it you can buy a service manual from Autozone or something with instuctions and pictures of how to do the job.
