Need help identifying issue.Truck broke down leaking oil everywhere

truck broke down today and I had to leave it 40 mins away from home. Truck started dumping oil all over my power steering rack. Found these shreds in the belt. The belt looks a little shredded but these are from something else.

Ideas?

 

Looks like your belt failed and I’m guessing smacked a line from your oil cooler hard enough to bust it?

 

I pulled that off and it was the pieces of rubber I took a picture of. It’s like round

 

The belt got a little messed up but not as much as these pieces of rubber show

 

Figure out what type of “oil”. Check your power steering fluid level. Leaking steering pump degraded belt then pump and belt failed causing massive leak?

 

It is motor oil for sure

 

Dang thats more complicated than power steering then

 

There should be 7 “ribs” with six grooves on the fan belt. Looks like in the pictures you’ve lost that first rib.

It looks like there is oil under the crank pulley. It’s hard to see in the photos, but I’d start there.

 

Looks in the photo to be pretty slick under there

 

If the oil leak appears to be below the crankshaft pulley the crankshaft seal might have been ruined from the failed serpentine belt getting wrapped up in the seal area.

 

That’s what I’m thinking too...

How tough is the crank pulley seal?

 

In the serpentine belt/pulley replacement thread this just happened to someone AFTER he replaced the crank pulley seal. Check those pulleys and good luck to you on the repair.

 

This happened to me! belt broke loose in the garage and i shut it off just in time! then a few weeks later oil in my skidplate. Remove your front ifs skid, if someone has a mini 1/2 impact gun it makes this a breeze, if not look up the breaker bar between frame rails and crank the starter trick. Find the right socket, pulley should pull right off. use a seal puller to CAREFULLY DO NOT SCRACTH ANYTHING pop the crank seal out, then use a bearing race seater, or press adapter/spacer and a hammer and tap in the new seal EVEN and flush. If you fuck this up it will leak again. Order a new crank bolt because it is torque to yield. Pulley back on and torque it to around 198, so for torque to yield i assumed 205 was good. Now most would use a pulley holder tool to torque it, i had a co worker wrap a rag around a long screw driver and put it through a opening in the center of the crank pulley and nestle it into a corner of the block behind it. He then held it while i torqued it, belt on, skidplate on andddd done.

 

Do you think that’s what happened to mine ? Hopefully I don’t have to order a new pulley. Is there a woodruff key too?

I don’t have an impact so I would have to buy one from Home Depot or something

 

@Torspd any ideas ?

 

Heres what mine looked like. And i had my story backwards! I had done the seal then the belt went, if you look in the pics you can see the inner of the belt is very wet. Crazy how thats the rib that shredded off it was time to be replaced anyways!

 

Man the belt has been squeeling the last few weeks too a little when cold. I had a feeling something was up.

Hopefully it’s just the seal

 

And the seal sits flush to the block, nothing protrudes, it is internally key'd i guess you could say. most impacts wont fit in there thats why i said mini 1/2 impact. you may have to breaker bar it.

A new balance/pulley was 110$, 10$ for the bolt off ebay. got the seal from rock auto.

 

If I do the breaker bar does the breaker bar go on the passenger wide or drivers side frame ? Knowing me I’d get it backwards lol

 

driver IIRC lemme check. dont matter anyways long the bars secure.
