Oil leak

[Spank]

Just started to noticed the slightest oil leak on my 2008 lmm. I believe its the turbo drain, whatever it is it has the driver side top and side of the bell housing covered. Really started to noticed this after a cold start and not letting the truck warm up enough before driving. Looking for some input for other possible suspects, I’ll get some pics up tomorrow after work

Since you don't have a factory turbo I would say that it is your turbo oil drain line going into the block. Have you checked to see if its loose? Could have pinched the seal as well.

I tired to check it once but I psychical couldn’t see anything and the engine was still hot so I didn’t want to go reaching around. More than likely it and will prolly tear it apart this weekend and replace the gasket.

Check divers side valve cover, 08 LMM had a issuse with crimped gasket bc of out of specs robot. Lol...

Also, if you have a pcv reroute check to make sure it isn't obstructed or frozen...

Never thought to check the reroute. It’s only dips in really cold weather. But if the reroute is frozen where would,it be coming from?

Valve cover gaskets.
