Calling All Mechanics...need A Little Help

I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2WD 4.0L Inline 6. Noticed it was leaking water from the front of the engine, figured it was water pump. Changed water pump gasket, as water pump was fine, gasket was not. Replaced Antifreeze and oil. started her up and noticed she is leaking water from around the camshaft.

Here is my Questions....

Can it be the head gasket? There is no oil in the water or vice versa.

IF the block is cracked, is it worth trying those Block Sealer products?

The motor has 250,000 plus miles, but was rebuilt at about 150,000...I didnt do it, but i got the paper work for it.

Trying to get as much info as i can before i decide what to do. Love my jeep as its been a good car for us for almost three years.

Thanks for any help!!

I haven’t turned a wrench professionally in over 20 years so...

Yes it can be a head gasket even though there is no oil in the water or vice versa.

I never had much success with block sealers. They always worked for a few weeks at most.

If it’s just a gasket it’s totally worth fixing. As long as it hasn’t spun a bearing or gotten water in a cylinder you should be ok.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’m an optimist thru and thru. I love any win this team can muster, and Bryce did what he could to keep the team in it, but he’s why the team was out of it to begin with.  I like the guy, but he is not… he’s just not it… and I was swayed by the way he finished last season, but his physical limitations will never be overcome. A one arm tackle stopped him in his tracks en route for 6, among several other plays where an even average starter in the league succeeds.  A franchise QB is supposed to be his own cheat code. Bryce needs a cheat code dude, that is not him, to win. Chuba CARRIED (literally) his ass last season. Thielen bailed him out EVERY game he played in last season. Today: Rico turned in one of the best games in franchise history, Tet was unguardable and put up at least 100 yards on his own (PI yards included),  and the defense basically pitched a shutout after going down big so they could beat one of the worst teams in the NFL.

      Rico 10000% saved Bryce Young from being benched for the Dallas game.  The way that game was going there was going to be no way to trot Bryce out next week at home if it kept going like it did.  Bryce probably is safe from bench risk until the next home and home presents itself.    He can’t be playing bad going into that next Atl game and then lay an egg in it.
