Narrowed down my oil leak down...i think...

ok so i ran my engine which had been leaking oil pretty bad (all five quarts) to find where the leak was. after 15 minutes on not much had happened. shut it off and waited around for a little. after about five minutes a little leak seemed to be happening here. You guys asked me to track it down so i did. what now?

Looks like you need a front main seal and probably An oil pump seal too.
I just did mine the other day , It's pretty easy .

If you do change it ,check the on the back of the harmonic balancer for wear!
You might need a repair sleeve , I had to use one myself . Like this

What year was the truck? If it's an '85 or newer there are online factory service manuals available for free download.

There are many post/places on this site and other forums and the web in general with links to online FSMs. Here's one. Just scroll down. The '79-85 FSM is actaully an 85 FSM, which should be fine for your truck. Try searching, you may be able to find an '86FSM, who knows.
