Rebuilt 4.3 in a '96 has an oil leak. If you've pulled one of these engines, you know how tight they are at the back. I don't want to pull this one again. But there's a leak somewhere at the back. At the moment I can't tell if it's the rear main, or from somewhere else. Anybody tell me what the possibilities are? What's likely & where to look? On the plus side on the passenger's side it looks like it's coming from higher up.

pressure wash the oil cooler lines/adapter,or if you dont have those,and u have 4wd,pressure wash the 4wd lines and adapter that mounts to the block. they are prone to leaking and making it look like a rear seal. its only a oring and a gasket

 

or... or. just deleting the remote filter housing.

 

touche. ive done it. your gonna do it...


Op. if u wanna delete the lines,use pf47 filter. its shorter and will fit between the front diff if u have 4x4.
