Rubber gaskets.

I've got the old 3.8, but a buddy of mine just got a new Rubicon with the 3.6. He's dripping oil from these two black rubber gaskets behind the oil drain plug. They're not on mine, so I was hoping someone could tell me what they were... Sorry for the bad picture.

Those are inspection ports. The leak is coming down from somewhere else (hopefully not the rear main seal). Bring it in under warranty.
