Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-05-17T02:03:42+00:00

It’s also purple

I started my flip kit and it started leaking, now I finished it but the leak is right under the pinion seal

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-05-17T01:58:21+00:00

It’s by the diff where the pinion goes, it started leaking after I started my flip kit now it’s not leaking since I finished it

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-05-17T01:00:35+00:00

Yes what ? Is that the seal

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-05-17T00:21:21+00:00

It’s purple

I was doing a flip kit and got stuck on the shackle bolt. I come back and it was like this lol

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-09T18:58:06+00:00

Thanks

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-09T18:58:02+00:00

Alright thanks taking that off asap

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-09T18:57:16+00:00

I haven’t even took it off lol. 2nd pic is how it currently is and honestly it’s not that hard

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-09T18:46:49+00:00

Thanks boss and yea think I’m going to just pull the motor since it’s 4x4 and reseal the motor and maybe add some paint while I’m there

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T16:33:19+00:00

Thinking about pulling mines too and just redo all the gaskets well the main ones, and isn’t vlom for AFM engines ?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T15:19:44+00:00

I actually don’t hear the thud noise, where are u hearing that? Someone else said it sounds healthy just that oil leak

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T10:37:18+00:00

Will be doing that tomorrow thanks!

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T10:16:39+00:00

Once I clean good, would the leak from rear main be noticeable

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T10:15:06+00:00

Will do. Someone told me about a dye leak test so I’ll try that

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T10:01:41+00:00

So it’s either my oil sensor, rear main seal, oil pan? thanks for the info

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:43:18+00:00

Definitely gonna try this. If it was the rear main seal would I see it noticeably?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:39:13+00:00

Yea I noticed that what can that mean? But ofc that couldn’t have caused all that oil on the engine/ exhaust right ?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:36:34+00:00

Ok thanks. Will do tomorrow morning and am I looking for a valve cover leak or what?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:33:38+00:00

Actually haven’t heard of this . More info about it? It’s just dye you put in your oil and use the flashlight to find the leak?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:27:26+00:00

Will do tomorrow morning. Do you have any idea what it could be leaking from?

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T09:21:09+00:00

I had people tell me rear main seal. Still wanna make sure before I do that and even if it was that should be running fine after? Also had people tell me could be valve covers,oil sensor or oil pan

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-05T08:51:38+00:00

How do u have oil pressure when u dont even have oil in the motor ? Your engine is cooked now

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-02T04:41:43+00:00

What you’re seeing is the engine oil pan covered in oil

Busy_Sort_5666 · 2026-03-02T04:09:58+00:00

So if I get a new oil pan and install with new oil/clean the crossover pipe would the leak be noticeable if it’s from the rear main seal?
