Its a 99 so I guess no luck on the kick panel disco.

Looks like I'll have to repair what's there. If I remove the pin in the small hinge that's in the door, it'll swing open further right? I have no room in there to investigate things.

I'm not sure about the disconnect on the late models. Seems like I remember that it does not have the disconnect right there.

You can remove the check pin but it won't open much farther if any at all.

Looks like it'd be the last one on that list if any.

So I don't have any oil in my coolant or coolant in my oil, but does this look like a leaking head gasket to you???

I'd swap the valve cover gasket before I assumed the worst.

Looks very similar to my seepage. I read that since it is on the passenger side it is likely just seepage. My understanding is this side is not under pressure but rather gravity allows the oil to flow back down. All I have read also says no big deal.

No one on this forum has replied yet.

I did the oil filter adapter mod, so no leaking o-rings from the adapter. I did not clean the engine after the mod, so maybe this is still old oil that blew up from the old leak. I fixed that leak more than 7,000 miles ago and I just noticed this oil. By noticed, I mean I smelt a faint burnt oil smell and took a look this weekend and noticed this.

Any thoughts?

Or you have some serious blowby happening...and a leaky head gasket. But thats very unlikely.

I googled...
97+ do have door wires connected in the kick panel. There's a lot in the front driver side, and more in the passenger.

I'll probably get into one at the JY and see what I'm dealing with.
