    Step 1) Taste it. Does it taste like power steering or oil.... Jk :bananadead:

    Look at your fluids and see what looks low. If you cant tell take some brake cleaner and clean everything off and take it for a short drive and see where it's coming from.

    Probably a timing chain front cover gasket thing.

    Yea I know it oil just don’t know where it coming from . You can see it underneath good but from the top you can’t. I check my dip stick and bone dry . Lucky I caught it before it blown up. I love the truck but this is a sleeper leak.

    Wow!! That whole engine/compartment looks like a bomb went off. What do you do with that thing?? My 2016 engine/compartment still look brand new at 48K miles.
