today i was changing my u-joints in my driveshafts and i noticed oil on one of my crossmembers. so i inspected further to find that it looks like it coming from under the harmonic balancer. so now i need to drop the pan and change the gasket. and i might as well do the oil pump while im in there. whats intaled in dropping the pan. it looks like i can just drop it with no real work involved is this the case?

 

it might be the timing chain cover

 

blah, forum

 

what does blah forum mean?????

 

May be the front crankshaft seal.[sm=americanasmiley.gif]

 

aaawww hell it could be a few things huh. guess ill be doing more investigateing

 

Ok, I'm loosing transmission fluid and is in the rear of the transmission. Is it possible to be the same problem? Thefront seal of the crankshaft? In this case, can I performance this job by myself or is very difficult?

 

First I'd try tightening the bolts just a little.My truck has always leaked something somewhere.

 

my truck doesnt leak...it just marks its territory
