So I stop at the store after driving for about 10 minutes this morning and my rig is spotting oil on the ground. Also, I exit the rig and can smell a heavy coolant odor. There is no coolant on the ground but I can definitely smell it. Any ideas?

 

check valve cover and throttle body heater gaskets

 

Will do. I hope I can read about it in the workshop manual because I am still learning. I have no idea what you just said but I'll read about it. lol

 

After you get under the hood, get back to us with more specific information on where the leaks are coming from. Also, when the engine is cold top off your coolant bottle, all the way to the lid.

 

I filled the coolant to the top a couple of weeks ago Mike and then bled the air out of the lines and then topped it off again but the coolant level continues to fall. I don't know where it's going.

I have no idea where the oil is coming from. All I can tell you is that the underside of the rig looks like I ran over a bag full of gravy.

 

STOP !! Don't waste any more gravy. but seriously you may want to carefully pressure wash things a little so you can more easily see the leaks, be on the safe side and avoid the electronics as much as possible with the water. might be the frt cover gasket too ?

 

lol Yeah, I am going to slowly start to clean things up so that I can try and make some sense of this mess.

 

Gravy? Srsly? That would indicate oil mixed with coolant - not a good combination.

 

Gravy as in clean brown looking oil. It does not appear to be an oil/coolant mixture.

 

Motor oil should not have any resemblance to Gravy! LOL it could be your Rear main, Try putting some dye maybe? I dont know if thats 100% safe but ive seen people do it.
