Well I do have spots on the ground and it's all over the starter. It's definitely oil. But, I suspect i have a slight coolant leak as well that I've had since I got the truck. It's incredibly slow though. I may just get my suburban up and going and just really dive into this thing.
As far as...
So, I replaced my oil pan gasket when I did my lifters. I developed an oil leak and I have no clue where it's coming from but it's in places it should not me. Like the bottom of my thermostat housing and coolant crossover. Is it maybe leaking from where the timing chain cover and oil pan meet...
Is this normal? I've had some play in my steering and sometimes it has a slight pop when I put it into reverse and turn left. I can't find anything else wrong.
Thanks for all the replies. I've been driving it everywhere with no issues. When I get the time and motivations I'll swap over to a higher pressure pump. But as of now, it's all good.
The cam I got said it could be used with or without vvt. I do not have vvt in my truck. I did change the timing gear and tensioner. It was a single bolt cam. I will still probably plug the holes in the near future. It's not too hard to get to.
Thanks guys. I feel better. My eninge is a 5.3 non vvt. Cam was a non dod/afm cam that can be used eith both vvt and non vvt. I'll send it I guess. Worst case scenario, I get a new short block lol. I have 172,*** miles.
In the oil pan I believe. And that isn't worrisome? Because it sure worries the hell out of me lol. Before, I had closer to 40 at idle and 55 while driving but I replaced the sensor at the same time I did the DoD/AFM delete.
I'd like to hear more than one person say that isn't worrisome before...
I put the oil pressure sensor with the screen in the back of the non DoD valley cover. It's a new sensor and a new screen. I was told I'd hear lifter tick if it was actually low but I do not hear that. Also, I know I am burning 0 oil because there is no smoke, and yes, I replaced the 0 ring with...
And I'm reading that I actually need the melling 10295.

So I did the DoD delete and fixed all my post DoD delete issues except for I'm geting really low oil pressure. I did replace the sensor AND the screen with a brand new one. But I'm getting like 10 PSI or less at idle and about 35 PSI while driving. Maybe 40 PSI when I get on it.
I'm not sure...
