2003 Jeep Liberty with 3.7 L V6

Asked by Steve Jan 18, 2019 at 06:50 PM about the 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My son and I just finished rebuilding the top end of
our 2003 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7L V6.  We thought
the problem was a blown head gasket because we
found water in several cylinders and the pan. We
had the heads pressure tested and surfaced along
with replacing all the gaskets, head bolts, etc. We
just finished and started the engine.  It ran and
sounded great however, we immediately noticed a
water leak coming from the passenger side. I first
thought it was the heater core however we quickly
realized the water is coming out of the valve cover?
Please help us figure out what might cause this.

Head/ block cracked due to severe overheat or previously hydrlocked. I think you need a new motor ,high failure rate so they are not cheap at all. Good Luck.
