Your jeep Cherokee 1998 is leaking coolant can it be a seal?

It is possible that a leak in your 1998 Jeep Cherokee is caused by a faulty seal. However, seals and gaskets are not the only components that can be responsible for coolant leaks. Some of the most common causes of coolant leaks include:

- Faulty Water Pump: The water pump circulates coolant through the engine. A faulty water pump can cause coolant to leak from the weep hole or from the seal around the pump shaft.

- Damaged Hose: Coolant hoses carry coolant throughout the engine and radiator. A damaged or cracked hose can cause coolant to leak from the point of damage.

- Faulty Thermostat Housing: The thermostat housing contains the thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant through the engine. A faulty thermostat housing can cause coolant to leak from the gasket around the housing.

- Radiator Cap: The radiator cap helps maintain the pressure in the cooling system. A faulty radiator cap can cause coolant to leak from the overflow tank.

- Cylinder Head Gasket: A faulty cylinder head gasket can cause coolant to leak into the engine oil or into the combustion chamber.

If you suspect that your 1998 Jeep Cherokee is leaking coolant, it is important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine the exact source of the leak and have the necessary repairs performed.
