It's not bashing. It's total disbelief from many members of this forum that have given you excellent advice time and time again, only to have you reject it.

I have given you comprehensive instructions to do certain things and you either don't read them, ignore them, say they're too much trouble, or keep asking questions that have been addressed by them.

Get off your pity potty.

Yes. After a while the oil gets everywhere and it's impossible to tell where it's really coming from. As Cruiser noted, the RMS often gets the blame, not because it's really bad...but because that's where the other leaks flow down to before finally dripping to the ground.
Clean 'er up and watch for new leaks, repair/replace as indicated.

Not really. I won in Post #7 with a prepared write-up that will probably go generally ignored.

Which was much appreciated and led me to identify the leaks.

Dude, I got a valve cover leak, RMS leak, coolant leak, axle fluid leak, and tcase fluid leak. My jeep leaves a nice connect-the-dot picture every time I leave a parking spot. Haha. The tcase leak isn't actually bad, neither is the axle fluid leak. The oil leak I'm gonna tackle when it gets a little warmer out, I don't mind putting in a quart here and there. It gives me a little more life till the next oil change. Coolant leak I'm in the process is figuring out, which is starting to be a PITA. I just have to monitor my fluids and Keep them up to par. Sucks being a college student with no time or money. Winter break is gonna turn into fix-the-jeep break. And from experience, do the things the guys on here tell you to do. I had to push things back and I'm now regretting it. Get that valve cover done soon before the leak gets worse. I gotta get to all my leaks soon so I can actually wheel again.

Everything I've ever gotten out of firestorm, cruiser or ccken . Is all gold . They know their **** . And inarguably you have I do what they say whether its now or later when someone gets it through to you . Jeep geniuses are rarely incorrect.
