Valve cover leak? By far the most common source of oil leaks with your 4.0L SOHC engine. Pics?

Also, which side? Here's a pic of the passenger side from below. Valve cover leaks almost always occur at the rear from exhaust manifold heat. Note fresh oil ABOVE the hydraulic tensioner.

Yep, most likely are a ValveCover, a TimingTensioner, the OilPanGasket, OilDrain, OilFilter ...
Hello Dillard. I replaced the valve cover gaskets. I replaced the tensioners. I replaced the bottom oil pan seal. I replaced the rear seal 2x. Going to check the drain and oil filter placement. Still leaks. I’ve chased it and decided to quit and place a driveway mat under it. I’m good. Thank you. Looking to get a new engine. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
