After you clean it, check the timing cover bolts. I thought I needed to do a front main seal and it turned out all I had was a loose bolt on the timing cover.

kinda looks like mine. That top brightest bolt just to the left of your oil fill in your pic was loose on mine.... not just loose, about to fall out. That and my oil fill was all wet around the base so took some channel locks and got about a 1/4 turn on it. I haven't drivin yet to see though. I was messing around with it at 1: this am.

Looks exactly like my pin failure about 2 months ago... Get a buddy and 2 cases of beer, and a weekend free to fix it. Your pulling everything off the front of that truck all the way to the cam...

there is a link somewhere in the forums. hope its not the pin failure. go ahead and pull the front cover to look, if its there you'll need to tab it then you can seal the front cover and put a new front seal in.

Then you need to replace the pin and repair any damage it caused coming out. The pin is there to keep the case aligned and is essential. There are actually two of them but only one has the tendency to come out.
