I've got a 2001 5.9 2500 that's leaking oil on driver's side of engine.
I've put 261,000 miles on this truck. It started this leak 3 weeks ago.
It appears to be just below the mounting bracket for the injection pump.
Is it possible that the oil pressure switch is leaking?
Any ideas on what's leaking?

Welcome to DF! In the future better thread titles will serve you well!

Also, you say injection pump, is this a 5.9L Diesel?

Default oil leak

Yes, 2001 5.9 2500.
I'm taking baby steps on how to post a thread. I'll get it right.

There are few guys here that seem to know diesels, jigapop and Wombat Ranger, you could also shoot them a PM (private message) might get a response quicker that way.
