[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1045591, member: 59842"] So my 2004 4.0L 2WD oil leak has gotten worse in the last 6 months or so. Been leaking a few drops now and then for a few years, but now worse. Not coming from the oil filter seal, but that side of the engine has a lot of oil wetness, and its not from the valve covers. I think it's probably a combination of pan gasket and oil filter adapter. Maybe even the main seal is a contributor. So here are my questions.... Can the oil pan be pulled without any other surgery, like lifting the engine or pulling off frame members? I read somewhere that there is a "top oil pan section" besides the lower pan. Is that true and if so can that be removed without issue? And can the oil filter adapter be pulled without any other removal? Looks to me that perhaps the exhaust manifold is in the way. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
