Engine Oil Leak

PlatinumScorpion · Mar 4, 2018

Looks like I have a very minor oil leak (thinking it’s bolt 1/6 in the pic below). It’s been to the dealer for this twice now who “can’t find the leak”.

Going to try a new dealer this week.

Anyone seen a leak here before or in the general area as I am not positive it’s the bolt.

Thanks

More than likely the upper pan gasket

Definitely seems more likely just odd that the upper horizontal bolt is covered to me but maybe wind pushed it up there

Can the pan be resealed without pulling the motor? Pull the transmission perhaps?

Or is there a way to externally seal? Really don’t want the new truck coming a apart...

Pulling trans is how it's done

I had a similar leak on my 15 that took 3 years to get bad enough for the dealer to find and fix. They said it was the gasket where the timing cover meets the upper oil pan. Pulled the rads out and trans to fix, it was in the shop for 3 days.
