get under there and look? theres a lot of places it could be coming from honestly easiest way is to take a peek and see a general area of where its coming from.

What is that a 500cid?

I just got my K3500 7.4L back from getting the power steering lines replaced and now it's got an oil leak. I am thinking its the oil cooler.

Definitely take a look.

Like said above, get under it and look. Loose oil filter? Dip stick pop out? I mean there is tons of possibility. What side is it leaking on more, or is it dead center?
