...where is the oil leak coming from (driver's side)!!!
Man!!! Since I've bought this truck, I had repaired the transmission leak, engine oil pan leak, radiator leak, now...there seems to be a leak coming from the driver's side. I am hoping it is just the intake cover, rather than the intake manifold itself, but what do you guys think???
Previously...there was no leak, not that I recall aside just the transmission leak. Now, after removing the radiator and having it repaired, I mounted it back on, filled it w/ distilled water then pressurized it to double check. Drained the radiator then added 'Super Flush' then filled it w/ water. I let it run for 30 mins. then filled it up with more distilled water. Then after letting the truck cool down, I noticed the driver's side had a leak. Is it coming from the intake or intake cover (chrome cover). I have read some threads, where one should check on the bolts of the intake and possibly intake cover to see if they are loose and bolt it snugged. Then if not that, maybe the intake cover gasket needs to be replaced (so I bought a Felpro rubber gasket) just in case. Bad scenerio, the intake manifold gasket may need to be replaced. Worst scenerio, I cracked the block while attempting the flush process!! (If it was a cracked block, what signs will I noticed??) Also, where and what input do you think is causing this oil leak on driver's side?? [SIGH] I really want to ride this truck, but problems are becoming systematic to the point I have to post and ask for help (which I really appreciate), but I want to drive the darn thing already, ahaha!!! Anyways, LMK what you think? Thank you...
