View Full Version : Engine Oil Leak

My truck has spewed a fair amount of oil around, mostly on the passenger side. It's dripping onto the front skid plate too. Most of the oil is down low, though there's a little around the turbo (not an excessive amount).

Any suggestions on where to check for all the escaping oil? I was thinking the oil cooler would need checking. Any other places to look?

Cheers!

Check the hose clamps on the turbo return line down on the front of the engine. Mine leaked fairly good from there.

When I did my injectors I pulled the passenger valve cover and replaced the gasket as it looked to be leaking.

The engine oil cooler lines and the oil filter adapter are two likely culprits. The oil cooler itself should be OK. You may want to give it a thorough cleaning and inspect for leakage. If you search the forum for oil leaks you should find lots of related info. Good Luck
