What's the most common oil leak on the 24 valves? I am looking at buying a low mileage (65k) truck that's dripping a bit?

Thanks!

Quoted for FACT!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a 2001 and was wondering where the vacuum pump is located and what it looks like?

Thank you,

ditto on the puke bottle and vacuum pump. My vacuum pump was leaking and now.....hmmm?? My oil pan leaked and chrysler was kind enough to replace that gem for free and the fan shroud after the mechanic broke it jacking the engine up.

Chesapeake, The vacuum pump is on the driver side of the engine underneath the injection pump. Seems like it piggy backs off the power steering pump maybe? Or visa versa, but I think it's off the back of the PS pump. You can tell the PS pump, has the neck with the fill cap on it and your vacuum pump is the other one.

BINGO that's where it looks like it's coming from vacuum pump, how hard is this to fix and how much?

Cheap kit, fixes and upgrades the seal at the same time. Great directions, everything included. The tough part is getting the darn thing out to fix.
