Default oil leak

Has anyone had any oil leaks out there. Gotta leak from what looks like the oil pan seal, but not sure. Some of the bolts on it seemed a little loose too. It's enough that its leaving a spot on the garage floor everyday after I wipe it off. I've got 81000 miles on her, just seeing if anyone else has had this happen.

i'm experiencing the same issue with my 2007 JKU. Curious if you found any fixes or figured out what the issue was? thanks.

If it is the intake manifold, replace your pcv cause you shouldn't have that much oil in the intake.

Mine ended up being 2 seals. On our engines, there is a lower and upper oil pan seal. If you look, the lower part is an aluminum piece. Not really sure why, but both my seals got fixed...it was expensive...but worth it.

Sometimes the oil from a leaking crank seal can run back & look like it's coming from the timing cover or oil pan.
