so i noticed oil leaking yesterday, unsure the exact location but around the oil filter and all below it on the actuator for the 4wd is covered, i turned the oil filter by hand 1/4"-1/2"

cant pin point a leak point so tuesday shes going to the shop to see why

 

I was under there and thought the filter was leaking I will have to have a look and see if it is coming from it or above.

 

When I was under there, running the wire for the tailgate lock, I noticed the tranny pan was wet. Gonna try to get it in next week.

 

dropped the truck off and already got a call, the o-ring on the oil filter was pinched causing the leak......they replaced and cleaned the mess up and ready for pick up


im betting this aint the first time its happened there

 

there is nothing wrong with the filter o-ring. the problem is the dealer isnt putting the filter on tight enough. ive had my oil changed twice by the dealer and every time i have an oil leak at the filter. if you can tighten it by hand than its not tight enough. i will change my own oil from now on.

 

Cuz they are scared they won't get it off, for some reason you overtighten these hemi's just a tad bit too much and it becomes a project to get the filter off.
