Leaking oil!!

Hey everyone,

I have come to you guys for help once again.

I just got done doing a head gasket job on my truck, but now it seems to be leaking a good amount of oil coming from around the tranny housing.

I leave a good 4inch puddle every time I'm done driving it.

Any idea where it could be coming from?

I have a 93 v6 3vze motor.

Hopefully I could get some help!

Thanks,
Angelo

Gravity is not your friend; where ever the oil is leaking from, it will head downward until it ends up at ... the transmission housing.

Get some spray engine degreaser and a garden hose. Get the engine clean enough to eat from. Start it, and start looking.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the back of the valve cover gasket.

Where have you looked and already ruled out? Valve cover gaskets and cam covers come to mind to start.

Get a good de greaser and clean as much as you can, then turn the truck on and try to see where its coming from.

If its coming from above the tranny housing i would guess valve cover gasket.

If its coming from inside the tranny housing i would guess rear main seal.
