Another oil leak.....
Hey guys! So yesterday while I was crawling around under my truck just checking things I noticed some oil on my starter, I followed the trail back up and it stops right around the freeze plug on the passenger side. I checked the valley and its dry as a bone and the the UVCH on the passenger side is also dry, I thought I heard somewhere that there is a some plugs on the back side of the motor that can leak oil? Maybe Im wrong but if there is could someone enlighten me on them please. Thanks cody

I added a pic to my post.
They are on the front and rear of each head. The plugs have a real flat head and take an allen wrench.

Well Guys I checked those plugs and that's not where the leak is coming from, looks like I'll be spending part of my Saturday searching for the leak! Add a couple cold ones in there an that's a good Saturday in my opinion!

Interested on your findings. My dad gets a small spot on the driveway when it sits a long time. A few drops. Looks like the oil is on the starter as well and drips come from it. I searched high an low. I always figured it must be the valve cover gasket dripping.

Did any of you find the problem?
I was under my newly purchased 2001 SD doing a transmission flush and I noticed oil leaking on the passenger side as well. Looks like I'll be doing more looking
