, and noticed what looks like fresh golden oil leaking out from GP relay all the way down exhaust manifold to frame and ground.
i recently added 2 qts rotella, I dont drive 500miles a year, only to keep in running condition.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I bet thats the conformal coating from the solid state controller melting off and not oil.

Thanks for the reply, Would a GP Relay replacement take care of this?
Do relays include timer also?
Thanks Again,

Not quite.
I think you can get them separately.
But I would replace the whole thing.

Yep, just under a hundred bucks for both sold as a unit from NAPA.

Your solid state glow plug relay is failing. Time to replace. Napa or ebay will get you what you want. Ebay will be cheaper but make sure you purchase an oem part. That relay can be bad from the start because of cheap import parts.
