Help! I found a couple leaks I think!

Check the attached pics and give me some advice por favor!

 

Could be coming from the valley pan gasket, or the front engine cover.. You'll have to clean it and watch it before it sprays everywhere.

Find the highest point of the leak and consider that wind from driving will blow that oil everywhere and try to pin point it. Or run a UV dye.

Cheers

 

Mine has looked like that for 3 years and while I have put a few dots in my garage floor, its never enough to worry about since after 5k my oil level is still where it started. I actually believe mine is coming from the valve cover area since I see a darker spot where it could be seeping out ever so slowly.

 

Front timing cover oil seal. Need to remove the crankshaft pulley to access. If you do this job check the area of the pulley where the seal contacts it, often there is a ring worn around the pulley's shaft that can allow oil to leak even with a new seal. I had some success getting over this by not setting the new seal fully in its seat.

You really need to decide if the leak is bad enough to need it replaced, have to admit I'm a bit pernickety when it comes to oil leaks and my engine remained clean after I did it.

 

Looks just like my engine. I end up adding 3-4 quarts between changes, but I think mine is getting worse so I'll have to work on it again. Try tightening you valve covers, that will slow mine down for a while. Maybe pull them out and put some loctite on them, that's what I'll be doing with mine next. You need an 8mm 12pt socket. A 1/4" drive is helpful, but not absolutely required. Good luck finding it in a 1/4" drive though, I had to special order mine through amazon.

If that doesn't fix it then check out some of the other guys suggestions, but just tightening the valve covers is a good place to start since it's free.

 

That is not normal at all brah... If you have to add any oil in between changes then you've got issues. If you have to add multiple quarts you are just being lazy. Fix that poor truck already

 

I would start with a good pressure wash to isolate the leak. More than likely the front cover pretty common area to start leaking, I would check the valve covers second most common area to leak....2 cents.

 

Avoid sticking a pressure washer in your engine compartment. Unless you want a bunch of electrical issues.

No reason some spray degreaser and a bit of time with a rag won't clean stuff up.

 

you can pressure wash the underside with no problems however wouldn't recommend doing the topside. Don't blast the 02 sensors...
