I've got almost exactly 200,000 miles on my engine now and it seeps out the back as well. I'm happy just keeping it topped off seeing as how i'm going to have to replace or rebuild my engine at some point. As long as it runs fine and does not overheat, I'm cool with it. My truck runs GREAT, but I do have to park over a shallow drain pan to collect all the tranny fluid, oil, and other junk that leaks which I vigilantly keep topped off.

looks like my valley pan seal is really trashed, also looks like someone replaced the coil packs at one point. one has a yellow marking from like a salvage yard and the bolts on the lower intake manifold were hand tight.



Passenger side rockers and pushrods are out- loosed up the exhaust manifold bolts

could this be the culprit? driver side rear. Still pulling heads because i am already here.

 

I'll chime in as I just did the heads on mine saturday... thought I had 1 leak, turned out to be many. valley pan was the worst, it was pouring out of the thing. LS head was leaking in front, RS head was seeping in back.

That looks exactly like the marks on my lower manifold, when I peeled up the Valley pan, the 2 rubber end seals literally went to pieces.

 

is rebuilding the injector orings and filter a good idea? the oring retainer was damaged on one.

also have to do spark plug wires. was thinking of buying two bosh kits and relocating the, to the top of the intake or remove them and so side and side(this will take some re wiring of the harness)

 

I didn't touch the injectors or the filter. Left them on the manifold, I feel that I should have. Didn't buy a new PCV either(stupid me). I did change the wires though.. runs sooo much better.

 

I messed with relocation
Not really a good fit, but doable.

 

like this or this

 

No conclusion. No help
