Ok so I have a 2012 jeep jk and have never had a oil leak before. Until today when I went wheeling. I climbed up a pretty steep ledge and parked after the obstacle to spot the next jeep up and noticed oil on ground. Looking under the jeep oil is coming out on backside of motor and coming down both sides of the bell housing where the transmission and engine meet. It lost quite a bit but was still showing full. Drove down and it stopped leaking. It will not leak on flat ground but did another steep obstacle and once again oil came out......I'm lost... any ideas where it's coming from......thanks in advance

There's a bolt in the back of your engine that holds your intake manifold. I found mine leaking around that valley gasket. Tighten that bolt and the one up front a little bit

[emoji106] Same thing happened to my daughter’s 2014 Grand Cherokee. A dealership oil change and they screwed up the filter housing. A common problem with the 3.6
