common oil leak areas

[markmartin]

I finally got my truck running, PMD problem, now I am sorting some other maintenence problems out, I have an oil leak, minor , but there, I have been reading that the oil cooler lines are a common leaking area, what else should i look for, it seems to be coming from the front of the motor, I plan to get under it this week and have a closer look, Thanks

The oil cooler lines transition to steel in that genral area. Also, close by is the power steering pump/lines. While my engine was out,I addressed both problems. Start with a good clean ing of the area and see who leaks first.

oil cooler lines, and oil filter adapter both are common leak areas.

The oil pan gasket will leak too. 2WD is much easier to replace.

Turbo outlet hose junction, and turbo drain....

The oil filter adapter on the 4 WD trucks will loosen and leak.I had to tightened mine several times( the 1" nut) and finally removed it when I changed out my oil cooler lines.I replaced the internal oil ring and the outer seal. This took care of all my leaks on my 93.....Lineman

I had an oil leak in my cooler. At first I thought it was the new cooler lines I installed but while looking at the connections I found the center of the cooler to have a small hole.
