stop praying against me!!!!

[the gimpey one]

so i went to see trollhole yesterday and started hearing something like a rubbing sound. Get to his warehouse and look under the truck and there is oil everywhere!!! So i guess my rear main seal finally died on me. I stopped on the way home at a carwash and sprayed everything down best i could . Get under it this morning and though there is signs of oil leaking it does not look that bad. So i take some pics!!

 

[the gimpey one]

now my pics are not quite as good as i had hoped but what i assume to be the transmission pan has oil on it. It is not gear oil.

 

[the gimpey one]

so today i make a short run to ace hardware which is less that 2miles from my house. Get out of the truck and hear something gushing!! Guess what pic #3 is??? The water pump seal!!!! So now my water pump must be pulled and replaced!!!

 

[the gimpey one]

I am praying that when i saw all that oil at trollholes it was because water was blowing back as i was going down the rd. and making everything drip drop!! At least i can dream...

You need to remove the inspection cover (what you call the transmission pan) to see your rear main seal leak.

Best of luck.

The inspection cover is about a dozen smaller bolts. Gotta do that first.

Also check the rear of your valve cover and the oil galley plug. How does your oil level look?

 

[the gimpey one]

looked fine yesterday at trollholes. More worried about water pump at the moment.

so is the imspection cover the big flat thing that looks like an oil pan? Will it rain oil when removed?

Probably yes and probably no.

It's behind the motor, below your clutch, and before the tranny and tcase.

It's the pan in the very 1st picture of this thread. It is supposed to be empty, however, if you have been losing oil, expect some oil and grime to fall out. Just wear saftey glasses when working under the cruiser. Rust and dirt seem to fall from everywhere under these old trucks while turning a wrench.

Definitely get the water pump fixed first. But while it is down waiting on parts I would get to know that oil leak a little better.

this is where i saw the water seeping/leaking from

That water is probably coolant coming from above. You need to find the source which could be your water pump or a hose.

No, pic #3 is not your water pump seal. That is your crankcase pulley you are looking at. Not sure what that material is hanging down, but it could be part of your oil pan gasket.

Most definitely find the source first. It might be worthwhile to rent a hot water pressure washer and get that grime off so you can diagnose it. Whoever you get to look at it for you will be much more willing to help with a cleaner slate.

[Southeast Overland]

Fixed it yet?

 

[the gimpey one]

i at work now so no. Gonna put it on flat ground and run it tommorow and see. It was def coolant though. I may see about getting my dads pressure washer up to the house. Gotta fix it by nov. 5 so i can camp.

I know someone who comes my way almost everyday going to seneca who will probably be more than happy to help me look at it one day.

 

[BELMONT148]

Yeah, but you will have to put a trail of juice boxes leading to it to lure him there.
