I was driving my Jeep and it started making a weird noise. There was a popping sound and oil started pouring out the bottom. I added a picture of the place it was leaking from. Any help on what that part is?
 
Let’s try again.

yea, that is not good at all. looks like either a connecting rod bolt came loose or you broke a connecting rod ! either way it aint good !
 
New member and a new to you jeep? Like the guys indicate, your looking at a new engine unless you wanna do a mickey mouse patch job if even possible. No offence but I can imagine owning a jeep and not even knowing what the oil pan is. Do yourself a favor and buy a manual and go thru it looking at pictures and names of parts and what they do. Might save your backside during a flame out in the middle of BFE.
