Hi, Just wondering if any one came across this issue. When the truck is running, oill leakes from around the oil filter area.....
I just got this truck and dont kwno when it had an oil change. It was sitting for 3 months before i got it..

Any help will be lovely.



thanks


I have a 88 4x4 EFI 2.4l

 

Start with an oil change and a new filter to make sure you have enough oil in it and a good filter. Seeing as how its new to you, you'd be better off knowing it had fresh oil in it anyway.

That would also rule out a bad oil filter seal too.

 

my suggustion to you would be to take pixs and give more info

 

pics of a leaking oil filter?

 

Sometimes the oil pressure sender may leak. It is right next to the filter (behind it)

 

definately do the oil/filter change, and make sure there aren't any old seals stuck in there.

 

that was my first thought...

change the oil/filter... clean it all up and see where/if the problem continues. It could be that the gasket cracked after sitting for 3 months...
