Massive oil leak, need help
Alright, so Ive had this leak for awhile, but it recently got bad. Its somewhere behind the injection pump. I dont know if its a return line or what, but when you look behind the pump from the top between the IP and the block, its all completely clean from the hot oil. When the truck is running, you can see the blue haze coming from in there. When you look under the pump, you can see the right side of the block and all the front suspension is COVERED in grime, gunk, and oil. When its parked, I leave massive black stains. Im at a loss as to what to check. Ive tightened every line, nut, and bolt I can possibly get to without yankin the pump. Im losing near a quart and a half a week, driving maybe 20-30 miles a day. (a week being 5 days.) Any reccommendations? Tired of spending just as much money on oil, as I do on fuel.

there is a oil feed line from the pump to a t goes in the block an down to vacuum power steering drive shaft housing. its a steel braided line with crimped on fittings. mine was leaking very bad from there. but the best way to find it is to clean very well an add oil dye. go drive for awhile an crawl under with a black light an yellow safety glasses an u will b able to see exactly where it is coming from. this is how we do it at the dealer. it will give u the source an the trail. good luck.
