Help me pleasee.... bad leaks (1 Viewer)

[JerryLX450]

Last Sat I had to replaced all the 3 belts, once i removed the skid plate (metal plate) I found leaks I took pic of it.Can anyone of you let me know is it really bad or something that i have to remove the bottom portion of it?
Is it just the seals or what i gotta to do now? it hurts...

Thank you all.

1st guess..........sloppy oil changes.

It doesn't appear to be the front main. I vote for timing cover or oil pan.

Clean it off thoroughly and keep an eye on it day to day. That way you don't go chasing anything but what you are sure of.

Well, I've been doing oil changes since 1974. That doesn't make me an expert, but I've got a damp spot down there as well. No matter how may rags I jamb under the filter some gets away from me.

Rick im pretty sure 100% its not from oil change but definitely leaks down there.

 

[fzj80kidpen]

So how many miles are you going before adding another quart of oil?
By the way mine looks the same.

 

[JerryLX450]

Well.. around 1k mostly i just have to keep checkin the oil dipstick..

As advised clean engine thoroughly and see for yourself where the oil is coming from. Doing anything else is just inviting people to guess, which is not anywhere as useful as you seeing for yourself from where the oil is originating.

 

[cruiserman]

There's no oil on the back of the balancer.

Change your oil to RotellaT 5w40 syn oil and and watch your oil leaks go away.
At least it did on mine.
Get a can of Gunk engine cleaner and clean that motor!

 

[JerryLX450]

Thanks Kurt and everybody else i'll certainly do that -Gunk and clean it and from there i be able to see where the leaks from...

i had the same leak in my truck. took it to my mechanic .
this is what he did... "remove radiator, fan, belts, crankshaft pulley. remove oil pump cover and replace gasket. install new crank seal."
parts: gasket, seal. $26.47
labor: $210.

no more leaks

 

[landtoy80]

If it is the oil pump gasket, Rotella or anything else wont fix it other than a new gasket.
If its the pan or timming cover that seaping, the Rotella might stop it.

rotella 5w40 fixed a little leekin on my rig too
