tappet cover leak?
kay i have this 2001 3500 cummins that just leaks so much damn oil. iv read up on some stuff and found it might be the VP seal or somthing like that around that area and i even took my fan off because it was blowing the oil to the back of the motor and making it look like its leaking out of the bell housing. but no i found that it leaks right out of the side of the block on the driver side, right behind a little tin cover. so help me out!

There are a few areas that can leak oil on these engines,the first thing to do is get a few cans of engine degreaser & clean the engine& engine bay top to bottom. start engine run it for a short time to see where the oil is comming from. It can be 1:vacum pump to power steering pump 2:injector pump to gearcase. 3oil pan gasket. 4 front seal. 5 venthose&baffle,needs to be very clean on inside. Most of these repairs are rather time consuming.Also check radiator to se if it is caked with oil dirt gerase around the fanoutline, if so it needsto be removed°reased also
