Lots of Oil

I cleaned everything up and bought some UV dye I am going to use once the sun goes down

 

That's the oil cooler.

 

How does it look after it's been cleaned up

 

Thank you!!!
I can grab some pics tomorrow when there is sunlight. Pretty much all the oil was right underneath and behind the oil cooler, a fresh stream right at the bottom seem. Spent about two-3 hours cleaning and just now added some UV dye to confirm. A steady drip, one sizable drop every 3-5 seconds. I could not see any other immediate leaks, but will keep monitoring after every short drive. I let her idle for about 5-10 mins

 

Yoiks oil coolers are expensive…..

 

Oh might just have to replace the seals!

 

I had a buddy not long ago add UV dye and then said he never found it because he didn't know you needed a UV light to see the UV dye.

Sounds like there's enough of a leak that you've mostly pin pointed it.

My engine didn't look far from that when I got the truck

 

Lololol well there’s enough complexity going on that it’s definitely easy to forget something simple here and there, but that is a funny story. I’ve definitely done dumber things like that time I grabbed my running motors exhaust pipe for stability……you don’t make that mistake twice‍

 

Hot potato

 

Pictures as promised, it appears that I have two probable transmission leaks, those will be next on the docket.

 

all three gaskets have been ordered and arrive tomorrow!
