What would cause my truck to leak oil when i have it plugged in? It also sounds like the oil is boiling. It never leaks oil until this time of year and I have to use my glow plugs or plug it in.

 

Kind of an odd question... You're saying it only leaks when you plug in the truck's block heater?

 

Yes and since I'm using the glowplugs more, it leaks a little oil after I run it.

 

i have the same problem dont worry bout pluggin er in just use a little bit of ether

 

Don't use ether on a vehicle with glow plugs... Bad chit happens...

 

The day yer in a hurry tryin to do a no-no (using ether), yer heads may end up coming off yer engine without using wrenches. Alot of stuff can go wrong. I had a 96 that ended up with a rebuilt turbo, new intake, glow plugs, and other odds n ends due to friends using ether on it while I was deployed.

Here's a vid that shows a little that can happen
