add this to your list to check.
The oil pan bolts loosen up on these trucks. usually once a year I will go along and check. This can cause some leakage. usually this will put oil on the back side of pan due to wind and driving.

I ended up putting a dab of lock-tite on my bolts the last time i found them loose.

I agree with others. get in there and clean everything off and drive and check to see what is going on.

Yea, they say it was fixed, but we had documented, 1 owner report of it striking, complete with repair documentation...... So they do strike 24 valves as well.

My personal story........

I had an 01 24v. I removed that catch bottle and ran a hose with a breather on it down along the frame rail. Then used about a gallon of simple green under the hood and cleaned up under there real nice. No more burnt oil smell or oil all over the place.
Easy check for blow by, with it idling and up to operating temp, remove your oil cap. If you see a bunch of smoke, problem. Just a little bit of haze is normal.

I aslo would like to ask if the truck gets filled a lil to much on an ooil change would the cause the smoke and oil to come out down there to?

KATOOM

No more smoke than normal but it could puke out a little oil as the timing gears flung it up around the vent hole if you overfilled it by a lot.

Although some oil brands tend to stink more upon the first few hundred miles or so after an oil change. I hear Delo stinks bad.

I use the rotella 15-40

patdaly

There is a reason we call it RoSmella........ Yea it smells for a while.

I still use it though.

SEaNyBoI

And if my case was cracked would it cause the truck to run any didfferent?

KATOOM

I'm not sure what you mean.

SEaNyBoI

If the kdp hit would the truck sound funny or just run normal anything like that

patdaly

Not necessarily. Mine I never knew a thing had happened until I saw the godawful pool of oil ( Blew out a big chunk of the case )

Don't freak out too much just yet, get her cleaned up and start looking for that leak.

SEaNyBoI

Yeah, the weather is gonna be nice today so im gonna get under there andclean all that crap when i get off work tonight. Hopefully i can get this crap fixed soon!

Thank you everyone for all the help you have given me!! I really appreciate it!!!

SEaNyBoI

Any help would be great!!

Got any pictures of the oil spill spooge? If not, might help us identify some potential sources for you in the area? Dunno for sure, just sayin it might help.

Im gonna try and get the video uploaded here in a few ill put the link on a post!!

I had a injection pump installed, do you have to take the vacuum pump out to do that? And couldthe oil possibly be coming from the case where the injector pump mounts to it? Because i really think right after i had it done is when i started noticing the oil!
