first make sure it's not leaking from the oil filter adapter.
and look into doing the 50 dollar DIY paint job. i've done it, and it turned out alright. been 5 years now, and still looks good, other than trail striping.

you don't need to take it down to bare metal. and you don't need to prime.
just sand off the shine and make things smooth. feather edge the hard edges to about 7mm.
you don't need to remove the bumpers.
90% of the work in a great paint job is all in the prep work. if you don't take the time to make the body smooth, the paint will show all your errors.
when i did my xj, the wife and i put about 80 hours into it. about 60 hours of that was putty and sanding. lucky for me there wasn't any body work to be done, just some spot putty. i wasn't too picky, it's my trail truck, but i still keep an eye to detail.
i sprayed tremclad in and around the door handles and mirrors. anywhere i couldn't get a roller into.
the rest was rolled on, with a couple hours of wet sanding in between every coat.
i didn't clear coat it.
