Well my truck did very well going up hill and coming back down.
But we were at our campsite I noticed little oil spots over the asphalt. It just started doing it like the second day we were up there. What do you guys think?

Cam Sensor, Crank Sensor, Icp sensor, Bed plate, Turbo drain tube, we can go on and on. I would check the top under turbo. Crawl under and see if it is leak down the bell housing. Check up front, from underneath and see if there is any oil residue. When my cam and craank sensor leaked it went down the block onto the upper pan and was pushed back to the rear and dripped from there. The can and crank sensor leaking are kind of a pain to isolate. Good luck.

Really the only thing you can do is find it. Cant really point a finger at anything.

Ok guys today I parked it on our driveway and there wasnt any oil spots:confused:
I crawled under there and i noticed that the oil pan plug had oil on it. Isnt there a washer on the plug?

A Fumoto valve will fix the washer issue once and for all. As an added bonus you never have to get oil all over your hands and tools to drain it.
