Thanks again for all your help guys,Cleaned her up and found that a pin hole in the oil filter 'pointing towards the rear of the block' is where my oil is coming from.25 yrs of driving never seen that.guess there making cheap sht these days.. I had a nephew put it in gear as I was underneath on a creeper holding on @idle speed and I'm pretty sure it's the U joints Making the whoopie sound,Still did it in 4wd also. Replacing them this week will let y'all know

glad you got it figured out.. But that was a seriously stupid idea with laying underneath your truck while it was moving... Not smart at all..

I used to wonder how people ran themselves over with their vehicle. Invest in some jackstands? Glad you survived your trouble shooting

Let me clarify the under the truck part.It was only a few feet at a time with plenty of clearance,the sound starts the sec the truck is moving.He could of cut the wheel and floored it I guess...

The oil pressure sender is a known good cause for an oil leak on chrysler stuff. We've replaced a few on 5.2 grand cherokees that the customer swore was a rear main leak.

But a pinhole in the filter will definitely do it too. What kind of filter? Since Subaru switched to Allied Signal (coughFRAMcough) from Purolator, the dealership I worked for saw a few bad filters out of the box.

The oil filter was on too long.
