Oil leak, is it the head gasket?
On my way home from work a couple days ago I stopped to talk to a friend and when I was getting ready to leave he noticed some oil dripping on the ground under my truck. Approximately a couple tablespoons after sitting for just 5-10 minutes. I crawled underneath to look at it today after the weather broke, and it's leaking from what appears to be the head gasket. It's located about an inch above (and an inch forward of) the place where the vacuum pump oil feed line screws into the engine block. It's immediately below the injector pump, IIRC. I'm not a good mechanic, but isn't that where the head mates to the engine block? The truck has 309,xxx miles.
Pretty bummed right now, cuz I can only imagine what this will cost...
