Currently working on a 6.0L V8 (2000 LQ9 I believe) and cannot seem to locate the PCV valve and hose (see image for reference). I was under the impression that they weren’t integrated into the valve cover until around 2005. The body of this truck is a 2000 Sierra 1500 but the engine was replaced from the 4.8 to the 6.0 at some point so I’m guessing for a lot of the component locations. First time poster, any helps appreciated.

Hey there I have a 2015 1500 5.3L LTZ Silverado 4WD (midnight edition) Anyway I was doing highway miles and got a console alert that oil level was low. Stopped at the auto parts store, added one quart, saw level was still low.. so I added a second quart which filled it up. I climbed under the engine in the parking lot, and took a peek at the oil pan. I noticed the gasket was all mushroomed out and there was oil pretty much caked everywhere lower than that seal. I took it to the dealership to get it repaired and the service manager told me the strangest stories. He said 1) the lower oil pan is one time use 2) the lower oil pan gasket is RTV 3) the upper oil pan gasket was also leaking 4) the crimp in the oil cooler line was leaking (didn't realize my engine even had an oil cooler!? Why would a light duty truck have this equipped?) He quoted $2000 for everything including 10% sales tax. Does this raise the alarm for anyone else here? I only saw oil from the lower gasket downward. The parts on rock auto are about $70. I think I'll have to do this one myself but would love some thoughts. Thanks in advance. -
I have a 2004 yukon with a slight oil leak. Not sure where it’s coming from bu found a small hairline crack in oil pan. What’s the best way to remedy this? Weld it, epoxy it, or replace it? Is it even an issue if it’s a small leak or can it catastrophically fail one day?

Ok Guys so I have a 2003 GMC seirra SLT I took it to the shop to get my right front hub replaced and have them drop my rear main oil pan and put a new gasket on it. After I got it back the speedometer did not work and the transmission fails to shift. So Yes I can take it back but my schedule is very busy and I am working all day today and Cannot get it back until monday. Just wanting to know if this sounds like a simple connection under the truck I can jump under it and reconnect. So basically im asking what connections would be disconnected that they would of had to pull in order to drop the oil pan. Thanks! Brandon
