Best way to pin point an oil leak?

[9Tahoe5]

A little help if anyone could, old tricks or just a little input would be great. My truck seems to be driping a little bit.

some places you can add a dye to your oil, to help pin point, check with local parts store.

Thanks, is there a usual spot where our trucks like to leak from?

 

[blueflamed03]

intake, front or rear

Yeah Intake,Valvecovers,rear main seal(back of oil pan) Front main seal(frnt of oil pan)..Possible oil filter.....If you can give us an idea where its at on the ground say driver side rear or passenger front etc.....I bet we could nail it down pretty quick....

take your car to the do it yourself car wash and try to pressure wash under your truck real good and drive home and put a large piece of card board under your truck or park on clean concrete and when you see a spot of oil on the card board look directly above it and you should see where it dripped from which is usualy the lowest point the oil could run too. then follow the run until you hit a place a gasket would be.

Great idea^^^^

Always remember your friend gravity. leaks can start at the top, like mentioned intake valve covers.
