Good afternoon everyone hope all is well. 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the V6 cheers to over 216,100 miles and still counting. Small problem but here's the weird part- oil leaks in few drips parked on an incline after driving but not on flat surface. Cause? Already replaced oil pan and gasket but that didnt seem to be the cause.
Check for leakage at the engine main seals. You could also add some UV dye to the oil to help locate the source.
@chucktobias turns out to be its not the oil cooler rather the oil filter housing. Git an aluminum version ot the two on the way but isn't it surprising the oil cooler is still oem and hasn't failed at over 200K?

Good detective work!

The original oil cooler on my car hasn't failed in 29 years and nearly 380,000 miles, so yours lasting 12 years and a little over 200K miles doesn't sound all that surprising. For that matter my original spin-on oil filter assembly and its gaskets have not failed either. (I guess it's a matter of perspective.)
