The valve cover gasket(s) is a very common place for oil to leak from down the front of the engine on a Jeep Wrangler. The telltale sign of a valve cover gasket that has lost its seal is an oil-covered valve cover or a burning oil smell when the engine is running. As oil leaks from a valve cover, it can contact a hot exhaust manifold and burn. Smoke can then waft into the cabin.Your valve cover gasket may be leaking for a variety of reasons. It could be shrunken, cracked, or rotten, or Your valve cover itself may be cracked or broken or one of the valve cover bolts may just be loose, allowing a little leak.
