oil leak in rear of engine

[gorkyb]

Hello chris, congrats on your recently purchased Sidekick. I had the same symptoms on my Tracker, mine had the inspection/dust cover at the flywheel missing when I bought it. I bought a new cover from lowrangeoffroad, when I was ready to put it on I noticed the old oil sitting in there. I held off with installing the cover and replaced the distributor o-rings and valve cover gasket, cleaned the oil off the flywheel housing the best I could and continued driving it for a while, inspected it once a week to see if more oil came down, I did not see any more oil for a few months so I just installed the new cover I bought.
