Bottom right side of timing chain cover. Trans lines are on the left side of the pic.
The bolt shouldn't go into oil area but I assume a bit of the timing cover gasket has failed near there (or the block has developer a small crack, which I think is unlikely). I hope this is the last oil leak. 286K miles and front seal is still good (so far).
Was leaking so bad that I lost 1/2 qt between oil changes. After oil pan gasket, remote filter lines, and rocker cover gaskets I no longer noticed any loss on dipstick but truck still left small puddles,
Leak detector found that leak in about 5 minutes and after 30 minutes no other leaks found, Hopefully no more leaks.

 

I just shipped my oldest off to TX until summer. It's supposed to be 84 degrees and +50% humidity there on Thursday. So she'll learn real quick that she's not in Kansas anymore. (Utah)

Did she go willingly lol

Yea much different weather conditions vs here as well.

 

Yes, very much so. Her and my Sister are like best of friends.

 

My sister has 8 or 9 acres with a pond... She keeps trying to get me to move/come down there. My Buddy up the street (he's from TX) says he likes UT a lot better - they don't like humidity.

Kinda funny, we sent him and his Wife a message that she left for TX tonight. He replied back "let us know if she needs a translator". LOL

 

Didn't think of that...lol.

 

Damn, Dey Bass ripped it up on her new album!

 

Muffler bearing.

 

VEry nice, but 8-9 acres is actually an ideal size FOR a pond.
