Got the Jeep running this weekend, only to find an oil leak.
It appears to be coming from the rocker cover area; specifically from about the carb back towards the rear of the engine, drivers side only. I have tightened the cover bolts as much as I dare for fear of stripping them out.

Is this a "normal" problem, something that happens regularly for the YJ series?

What is your recommended repair; besides replacing the gasket, is there something else I'm overlooking?
