Found On Road Dead :(
alright, previous thread was about fuel filter i guess, i changed it lastnight, going to town (200km) get about 60 and bam she blew, trans was slipping, id give it gas, turbo spool up and rev to 2500 but i lost speed? did that in 4th and 5th then eventually it just died, smoked gray and blue and smelt bad, i died on the side of the road, popped my hood and i swear 15L of oil was all over my engine, and under my truck never seen such an oil spill on a truck/in, everything was soaked, i got it towed to my shop, simular problem happened to my uncle, was a seal in the hpop? any ideas? or should i just say screw it and find a 12 valve to throw in?

need to clean out the valley..refill motor and reservoir with oil..have someone turn key to start the truck and watch where the oil comes from...make sure its some one that can listen and shut her down fast when you yell..look for split hoses first..

As Ron said. Check for a break in the hose first, then you're looking where the lines attach to the head or to the HPOP. You can see where the hoses attach in Ron's first link. The seal will be a viton O-ring where the line connects.
