i was driving driving in circles and after i got done my truck was leaking oil out of it real bad. its leaking right arund the computer, on the drivers side block. im gonna try to tear it down to figure exactly where its leaking from, but i believe its from the pushrod cover on the side of the block. an other ideas where it might be coming from.

 

head? or lifter cover. that cover is a pain in the *** to remove with the fuel pumps on there, $20 gasket is all it is

 

Sounds like the lifter cover.


Or maybe the oil line for the power steering/vac pump?

 

the vaccum pump is down low toard the timin case and the powersteering pump is oiled by th evaccum pump if its toard the rear i doubt it would be that i know them tappet cover seals go bad often if it gets to hot

 

All I know is its A LOT of oil.

Good luck ED call me if you need any help.

 

the gasket on the lifters, pushrods is sticking out the bottom of the cover, so im positive thats whats leaking

 

Dang Ed you were raising some hell

 

EDs alwyas doing that. Take a look at the video section.

 

Any updates??
