My 2002 Tj 4.0 has a bad oil leak. It's not a daily driver and has seen much abuse over the years. I have been ignoring the leak since I don't drive it much and it is in a gravel driveway. I just assumed that the rear main seal was shot. I changed the oil in it not long ago and see that the oil pan has a lot of rust on it but it is soaked in oil so it was hard to tell what was going on.
The guys that did my yearly state inspection (yes, that's a thing in Virginia) said he thinks it is leaking through the pan itself from the rust on it. I have never had a vehicle rust out an oil pan before. Then again, I have never had a vehicle rust as bad as a TJ either.
Have you guys ever heard of an oil pan rusting through?
