I was mounting a breather tank and had run the hose for it but not yet finished. I had to go run a trip and forgot about the hose that I had stuck up inside the bumper to hold it out of the way temporarily. Well, it had a kink in it and when I got home I noticed oil dripping from everywhere under the truck. I knew what it was an figured the oil dipstick had blown out so I popped the hood. It was still in place and then I got under the truck and everything, I mean everything is covered in oil from the oil pan back. There is even oil on my tailgate and rear tires.

What is the most common place for oil to leak from? I am going to have to clean it all up to figure out where it is leaking from. I just hope I did not pop a seal. Anyone have something like this happen to them? It looks to be leaking from the side or rear somewhere.

Thanks, truck is down until I figure this out.

 

UPDATE: Looks like I found the leak. I just replaced the lift pump with an Airdog and it looks like it is leaking right from where the factory lift pump bracket was. Are the bolt holes that go into the block open to the inside of the block? I had been running for a week with no signs of any oil leaking. So, with the kinked hose could the pressure caused it to somehow push out of this area? Does anyone know if these holes for the lift pump bracket go all the way into the inside of the block? I just want to make sure this is what it is.

 

When i took off my stock lift pump to put int the air dog, I did nothing with the bolt holes and they never leaked.

 

Anyone have a block out of their truck that they can look at for me to see if those bolt holes are indeed threaded into the inside or not. PLEASE.

One guy on CD says there is a gasket behind that plate. I just went out and looked and there is a gasket. I am going to put the plate back on just to be safe.

 

I was just told this is where the 12v mechanical pump was and there is a gasket there that seals it with the plate. You should prob put that bracket back on to be on the safe side.
