I was getting my paper this morning and I noticed a leak coming into my
drive way.. Sure enough it goes straight to my truck.. I got off work
last night and iM about 5 miles away. This is a steady leak the whole
way. I keep a tray under were I park at at. Ive had a power steering
leak. This pan was filled up. I checked my oil and it is dry as a bone.

I moved it in the garage jacked it up and I see oil about every were.
My filter is tight no loose nut. I went got some more oil and gonna
fill up and start and wonder if I can see were it is coming from>

Any Ideals on were to start or what it might be or how to find?
Tks

Sounds more like a blown rear seal to me, if the oil is "everywhere."

I agree, it has to be something that is under oil pressure to lose that much
oil. Only way to find out is fill 'er up and watch where it comes out! Might
want to clean the bottom of the engine with brake cleaner to be able to see
the origion of the leak better.

This was my oil adapter seal.. I jacked it up put oil and started got under
and sure enough it was coming from around the seal were the Oil adapter
thing connects.

I'm gonna have to take filter off but may not take
connects off.. I got it off it was as brittle as could be just snapped
apart. 240K miles and still running

Glad it was something fairly simple. Next question, the red check engine
light never came on, and oil pressure gauge stayed high?

If it leaks that bad....should be VERY easy to find.
