I have had this oil leak ever since we have had the vehicle, but it has never caused any problems so i just like it be. Well now that im trying to get the blazer back to tip top shape, I would like to fix it.





And as you can see there are droplets towards the back, but the dont drip, or at least they didnt while i was down there, and there is little to nothing in the parking space over night.


And while i was down there i took some pictures of the oil cooler lines to see if you guys think they should be replaced.





Now note that i have never wiped down the bottom, so i dont know how quickly it gets dirty.

Thanks for you help!

 

I suggest you clean all parts with a degreaser. It's easier to locate a leak when everything is clean versus having people on here guess where it's leaking.

 

Ok ill clean it and check. I just didn't know if you guys had enough experience to have had that problem before if its a common problem and simply say, "oh yea, this is where its leaking"

 

looks like the rear crank seal, mine needs the same thing, and looks the same. i was given a rough quote of $500. the tranny needs to come out.

 

Alright well is it qorth getting fixed, or just leave it alone?

 

As long as its not leaking like crazy I would leave it alone, it will get worse over time though. They do sell stuff that helps swell the seal back up

 

Those leak fixers are kinda like bandaids. You have to keep using them, but beware they do typically thicken the oil so keep that in mind if you have cold winters.

 

or try a high mileage oil, apparently they have the said "seal swellers" in them, and maybe try a slightly thicker oil. im using 10-30 castrol high mileage dino

 

I'd say if it's not leaving spots then don't sweat it........ so there's a small leak not that big of deal powerwash the motor and forget it.....
