hello everyone
i hope you can offer me some suggestion as to where to look for the following issue i have
my 85 ramcharger i have two issues, one is an oil leak i cannot locate..
i smell oil burning after driving the vehicle for about an hour.. i have replaced the valve cover gaskets,
the rear engine seal, there is no oil coming from the filter, any help would be greatly appreciated..
next i put a new carburator on the truck.. i smell a slight gas fume smell.. could the vehicle be running rich..
and needs more adjusting..

thanks for your response..

 

Might put some dye in the oil, clean the engine off really well, drive it for a bit, and then have a look with a UV light.

Check for fuel leaking anywhere under the hood. Gas leaks are bad news.

 

Look at the intake gasket at the back of the engine. Oil loves to leak there especially if you still have the cork gasket.

 

The UV dye is the way to go. I've found numerous leaks over the years with it. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the oil sending unit. I've seen them seep and lose oil slowly. This can trickle down onto the exhaust manifolds and give you the smell.

As for the fuel smell, when do you smell it? When the engine is running? After you shut it off? Moving or parked?
