Oil leak


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have an oil leak similar to the ones in the pictures. The pictures are from a thread in 2012 but the solution was never stated. Oil dripping off oil filter and above at the block off plate and dripping off the starter.

Pan gasket and/or rear main seal and plate gasket are common causes of this. Currently have this issue on my 6.0, but I'm waiting until cooler weather to address it.

Though it's a more rare issue, the valley plate gasket can leak at the back side and where the oil pressure sending unit threads into the top, that can slowly seep oil too.

The crank sensor could be leaking too. That is right above the starter and has an o-ring gasket on it.
