Lets Talk about...

Well i notice there trucks that leak a lot and some that don't leak that much, My grandpa has the same year as mine and his leaks a little, and my also leaks a little. But i find out where they from little by little there usually a gasket or something to be tighten, any one truck here that leaks a lot?
And what you done to prevent to be aware so if we start leaking we can look for it. Also my AC coolant is leaking and cannot find the hole, so its make the noise that its flushing it to get more.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I have no leaks at all. Although when It's really really cold out ( like -20+ below zero ) I get a small coolant drip from the radiator, but it quits leaking as soon as it warms up a bit.

My 90 leaked oil, but it had a hole in the pan.

The only time my 93 leaked is when the oil pressure sensor worked its way out of the block. That was less a leak and more a torrent, lol.

my oil pan gasket on a 94 460 started to leak 7 years ago when i switched to synthetic oil. switched back to conventional and it quit leaking. my sterling rear seaps a little but doesn't drip. for a 16 year old truck, you'd be hard pressed to find any spots in my driveway, i do have a zf 5spd so no e40d puddles for me
