Just like was said before, stick a hose up there and wash out the valley. Let it dry and then start it up and watch with a flashlight. That kind of leak you are going to see. You can also fill the valley with paper towels, start up the truck and let it run. Then shut it off and pull out the towels to find the leak...

Lets just say I spent a couple days looking for that leak... It wasn't fun. I am so glad that it happened in the driveway...LOL
Thanks, but I still don't understand how this whole rep thing works...

buddy looked at it thought it was the rear main seal..thanks to you guys i read him yalls comments. i lost all my oil almost.. went and got another gallon of oil since it showed nothing on the stick. we couldnt really find the hpop
he knew we had to clean it ..so we did with some good stuff.. let it dry and all that
saw that it was coming from up top... if you look at that black thing. he said it was some kind of small seal and that it was a easy fix.
this connects to some kind of plug
he said he would change the seal for me.. i left him the truck..
is that what it is? what do yall think?

Yep that is it. MAKE sure he puts a VITON oring in there. It is kind of a pain to get to with everything in the way.

Yes that is the HPOP. Try to find an International Dealer nearby. they are open real late too... They will know what you need. You might want to pull it off and bring what is left of the oring in there, or bring the HPOP line in there and they will find the oring.
