Good afternoon,
I have a 3208 in an '82 Ford LN7000. I'm chasing down oil leaks.
Had the tranny mount/clutch housing getting wet with motor oil and thought it was crank rear main seal- had it replaced.
Then, while parked, running engine to check repaired leak on crank for air compressor, found more drips from bottom rear of engine and around starter motor.
Wiped down starter, lip of pan and bottom of clutch housing and ran it again...now I'm not seeing any drips!
Oil pan bolts all snug but replacing that gasket is my next step.
Top of block and around heads are all dry.
I'm just asking the forum: are there any areas I can't see that are prone to leaks?
Thanks,
DB
