Out n under it this morning....housing was 'wet' above the 'base plate'...leak/droplets were coming from the 2x 'prongs' seen at the front of the housing protector plate (????)....could see nothing wrong with filters or mashed drain plug...replaced drain plug n filters...new concern...'ham fist' here may have broken off a lug from the mashed drain plug when removing it....COULDNT find it inside the housing(using fat fingers and every angle available to squeeze those fat fingers into) or in the drained diesel...hoping it drains out at next change ????.....'may' have already been broken off in a prior my ownership incident ????
After assessing EVERYTHING I'm almost certain the leak is in the housing at the front around the 'electrical harness' plugs...if it returns...All Grand Cherokee will get a call and I'll use a hoist to remove and replace the housing...see what eventuates...
