Roman Tasel Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 My truck is leaking a small amount of oil from the end of the oil oump( the bolt on the bottom. If i tighten it, will it stop leaking? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Wipe it off very clean and check often. I had a timing cover front seal that would drip down onto the oil pump and make it wet. Snug it up it might stop. If you are not sure use a torque wrench and tighten to 8-11 ft lbs. If this does not stop it you will have to drop the pump and replace the paper gasket. Not a difficult job at all as long as the drive spindle doesn't fall out or if it does, that it go back in, in the original position. Edited December 4, 2008 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
