Oil Leak

Looks like its coming from the rear part of the valley, leaking a good bit, not a gallon or anything but definetly noticeable.

Theres a little bit of oil on the passenger side up-pipe if that will help you with location.

Thinking a gasket/o-ring has gone bad, but not sure where to look exactly or what back there could go bad.

If you have pict.s that be great!

Thanks.

Oil leaks in the valley are hard to find.You should clean the valley up good and then run the truck and see if you can find fresh oil.

so the turbo pedastial, sounds like that would be it. Guess I'll be ordering those o-rings as well...lol this truck is turning into a bunch of work, cant wait to get her all put back together.

So this kit http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/mm5/me...ode=F731-O-TRB should allow me to do all of that correct?
