Hello!
My truck sat for about a month while I was out of town, and when I took a look at the truck after I got back, I noticed a rather large oil spot underneath the engine. I thought this was noteworthy because I don't normally park the truck in this space (so none of this oil is old), and again, the truck sat here for maybe a minute with the engine running before being shut down for almost a full month.
So...I haven't had a chance to climb under the truck yet, but based on these pictures, does anyone have any idea on where the leak might be coming from? I'm not sure how high the oil level is in relation to the top lip of the oil pan, so I'm not sure if oil could be seeping out of there or one of the main seals, or if it might be coming from the oil pan plug, or if it might be coming from a crack in the oil pan BTW, this is in a carport space with the truck slightly nose-down...and, while I've known of an oil leak prior to this, I've had no idea where the leak was, and I usually don't lose more than a quart of oil in 1000 miles.
If anyone by chance has any thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate it...thanks!
