OIL LEAKS
First, get under the truck and clean everything with simple green or some other oil/engine cleaner (simple green does a great job and is much less damaging if you get it in you face/eyes. Clean from from to back several times so it is easier to tell where the leaks are originating. Then front crank seal, timing cover, oil cooler lines, in and out, transmission cooler lines, in and out. Check the valve cover gaskets. I just did my oil cooler lines, not too tough but it is worth investing in some shorter wrenches that will fit, space is tight. I ended up using an open ended adjustable wrench 6". Front crank seal is a little tougher, some independant shops have quoted $110 to $190 including parts. Good Luck. Phil

The best way that I ahve found to clean the underside of your trk is to take your ramps to the DIY carwash, degrease the whole engine, top to bottom, underside really well including the front axle.
Drive it home and you will beable to find your leaks.
