: Oil leak Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 11:19 AM This is no big deal, well not yet anyway. Everytime I change my oil there is a little bit on the bottom right by where the block and the trans meet. Just wondering if anybody else noticed it on theres and where it cold be coming from. Any help would be apreciated. It doesn't leak bad at all, No puddles just on the block. banshee42096 03-20-2006, 11:50 AM by the oil pan i just had my replaced for just a little bit of seapage before it went out of warranty. Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 11:54 AM It is right behind the oil pan Hal Hughes 03-20-2006, 12:05 PM Mine did that and it was the rear main seal. Had it replaced under warranty. Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 01:13 PM I thought of the rear main but it is only to the right side. But it isn't running down so it isn't the valve cover either. otis 03-20-2006, 01:27 PM I would take it to the dealer and have them check it out, that would at least you would have a record of the problem before the warranty expires. Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 01:39 PM Here are some pics of it Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 01:41 PM I did get about 1/4 on each bolt on the oil pan so we will see if that was it, Thanks for the input guys. zr2yz125 03-20-2006, 02:14 PM I've got the same problem, my oil pan is dry all around. On mine you can see on the passenger side where the leak emerges from where the trans bolts to the block. I'll be taking mine in in a few weeks, I'll add this to the list Jgrub75 03-20-2006, 03:20 PM Let me know what they say. zr2yz125 03-20-2006, 03:21 PM Let me know what they say. ;) Rollingthunder 03-20-2006, 07:42 PM Sounds similar to what I saw. See the thread http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61388 Jgrub75 06-05-2006, 01:04 PM Mine was the rear main seal as well. So far so good. Thanx for all the help. zr2yz125 06-05-2006, 05:28 PM Have not had a chance to get mine into the shop yet. My daily driver is down (multiple-simultaneous part failure - GO CHEVY:( ) so I need the Duramax... knighte 06-06-2006, 05:23 PM I did get about 1/4 on each bolt on the oil pan so we will see if that was it, Thanks for the input guys. If "did get about 1/4" meant you tightened the bolts on the oil pan... BE CAREFUL!! You won't break anything or cause perminent damage, but you will squeeze the gasket out of position and have to pull the pan and replace it. Jgrub75 06-07-2006, 08:38 AM No I meant 1/4 turn on each. There where a little loose, But it was the rear main leaking. knighte 06-07-2006, 05:07 PM :exactly: I understand the leak, I was just cautioning you on tightening pan bolts. These bolts have a very low torque rating and require a specific tightening pattern. Just be careful. Jgrub75 06-07-2006, 09:21 PM Thank you. | ||
