Has anyone run across a problem, persistent oil leakage, in the area of the oil filter, but only AFTER engine shutdown? No apparent leak when running? I can get more info probably, but it's not near me ... Thanks My thoughts are it HAS to be running down from elsewhere, pooling somewhere and gravity at work after shutdown ...never seen the truck tho ... Last edited by VL21; 03/27/13 09:21 PM. It takes gasoline to interest me.

Perhaps at one of the oil changes someone put the pre-'07 oil filter on there and it is causing the leak. Not sure what differences are, could be the rubber seal and that would cause a leak.

It may be ugly, but it sure is slow. Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard....
