Oil Leak
I noticed engine oil coming from a tube that comes down from my engine on the right side of my oil pan. Its dripping onto the axle. Im guesing its a vent tube but should it be leaking? Its not alot of oil, none getting on the ground just axle. just wondering why it would leak? I checked oil level and its right on the correct spot on dip stick. Any ideas?

The fuel filter canister drain tube and the crankcase vent tube are on the driver side of the engine. The fuel filter tube is clear. If it is leaking, the petcock(yellow lever) may have gone bad or is not closed all the way. If the vent tube is leaking oil, your truck may have been over filled with oil or you may have a leaking injector that is adding fuel to your crankcase. Check your oil level.

My crankcase vent tube drips quite a bit. It has since day 1. It's caused me to keep a close eye on the dipstick. I check the oil level every day and it has stayed in the middle of the safe zone. It bothers me a little, but I'm not worried by it.
