so how many of you have it?

[BlueWaffle]

That annoying little oil drip off the bell housing...how many have it? Seems like mine is getting a little worse but I don't know of its worth tearing into again. I've already done the bed plate and rear main. Where else should I look? I'm not ruling out the bedplate again either but mostly im curios how many have it.

Knock on wood....the only leak I have is coolant from the degas bottle. LOL

not a single oil leak anywhere.

HPOP cover, Oil cooler?

 

[Spastik monkey]

could also be the CCV vent acting up. You might look at doing the CCV mod

i should've checked a couple weeks ago when I had the turbo out. any other way to check it?

 

[PSM_Kid]

Just start looking from the top and work your way down. Check the oil pressure sending unit, it is the single wired sensor on top of oil cooler. A cracked top hot side cac boot can eventually spew enough oil to where it will drip down the motor. Those are just to name a few possibilities. Wash the motor really good top and bottom at the car wash or in your driveway with some gunk degreaser and then check over everything. There are many possibilities. But starting with everything clean will make it easier to pinpoint IMO.

Mine leaks but I also found two bolts for the valve cover at the rear of the engine backed almost all the way out. When they changed the injectors on the truck they forgot those two rear ones or were two lazy kinda like the ficm mount missing the two rear bolts and all the loosed intercooler clamps. I have not sprayed it off to see if the oil is still dripping or not.

Mine is usually wet with oil but it never drips I never really cared to fix it... should I?

Ya, I got it.. About the size of a dime in the morning on the ground.. It's done it for three years, never has gotten any worse..

 

[powerstrokedub]

My 6.4L has done this since new and has never had work done to it. My cousins 6.4L does it as well, its super super super annoying but I don't think there is much I can do about it.

I agree, it is annoying.. My sister just bought a new Dodge dually loaded for like 55K and that leaks as well so I guess were not alone.. LOL

Same boat here, whenever I get under the truck I see it a little wet, but I have yet to ever see a drop on the ground under the truck.

Definitely not alone, my 6.7L cummins does the exact same thing only slightly worse. haha
