Hi everyone!

I picked up my first ever Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport (2014) yesterday (yay!). Drove it home with no issues at all. I filled it up with fuel last night. When I turned it on today I smelled gas. When I got out to look there was gas leaking heavily out front under the Jeep. To put it bluntly, this really sucks since I just picked it up yesterday. I contacted the dealer and have not heard a response yet. I really want to just have more information to share with them.

I am very green to this sort of thing and was wondering if I could get help identifying the part that is leaking. The leak only begins after I start the engine and it runs for a couple seconds. I attached pictures and circled where the leak is coming from. For reference the photos are taken from behind the passenger tire. I will upload more if needed.

Thanks

 

The dealer ended up sending their mechanic out and they fixed it in the driveway. Hopefully can go to some dunes in the next couple of weeks now!

 

what ended up being the issue?

 

That was good service from your dealer!

 

Fuel injector o-ring. It looked the the gas was shooting out of the back of the thing I circled, but it was actually pouring down and flipping off if it. Mechanic came to my house and fixed it in the driveway.

 

o-ring makes complete sense in general, but wasn't making sense given what you had circled. That is not something that just craps out on it's own like that, but i'd bet dollars to donuts what happened is they had to replace the oil cooler/housing, and removing the injectors is part of that labor. They probably nicked the o-ring on reinstall. Had a buddy do that exact thing. Upon reinstall noticed very quickly that it was spewing fuel due to the same reason. fun times. nothing like a close call.
