Oil leaking after head gaskets - Diesel Forum

I got my truck back last week after head gaskets, EGR, oil cooler replacement. Now I have a few spots of oil on my driveway below the engine. I can't see where it is coming from.

Is there somewhere likely the oil is coming from?

R..if no o.leaks pre repairs, maybe just oil residue from disconnecting parts. Climb up in e.bay..use light..look at turbo o.line..look down in valley etc. see any oil? Also look again with engine running, be careful. Good luck!

btw..while your at it you might wanna check all clamp fittings on cac tubes, turbo etc. are tight. I mention cause all mine were really loose...yours maybe ok?

I got under there and wiped everything I could see oil on with a rag last night and there are only a few drips this morning. I will run through a car wash today that will spray up under there and see if more drips out.

I actually installed a CFM largemouth and meth injection when I got my truck back with the new ARP studs. So I know that CAC's are tight. I don't want to take all that out - that is why I am on here asking rather than just dropping by the dealer!
