Oil Leak

[scouzzer1964]

got an oil leak coming from the bottom of the truck. am thinking of taking to garage, what would be the procedure and would it be a big job.

Depends where its coming from, front oil seal needs all the pulleys and belts removing, sump needs the front axle to come out so you can drop it down and clean it up and the rear oil seal is a gearbox out job.

or just top it up like me then you never need to know

Yeah, also fixing oil leaks is usually dependant on how much aggro fixing it is vs how much of a mess it leaves on the drive.

correct (how do you know theses things)

[BUSHWHACKER]

Check that you oil filter is screwed on tight.
