Stop the world I want off! Well, not really. I've been chasing an oil leak near the front of the engine for a while now. Thinking, headgasket, oil cooler etc. Have used brake cleaner to clean up front of engine and drove it a bit, oil leak still persists and I do have oil in the anifreeze.
I was thinking oil cooler as the culprit but today I got a surprise. I had done the waterpump this past summer and put on oh, maybe 500miles on the truck since. No coolant leaks, holds pressure etc but today I was lookin around and just put a 1/2 wrench on the waterpump bolts. Yikes! I got 1/2 to 3/4 turn on them all! I used sealant on the bolts needed and it was tight when it went on this summer. My questions are: if loose, will the waterpump allow oil into the coolant and an oil leak down the drivers side of the engine going onto the oil cooler then blowing back and down the face of the oil filter? Not talking a lot of oil, drops that just start to run after
