    Is it tacky to strip his truck during the trip to the cemetery?

    get under it and clean it as good as you can.. then maybe throw some dust on it to dry it up real good.. check it again in a week or so and you should be able to tell if theres anything new. if so take to dealer and get fixed under warranty.

    Leaking oil and real boobs will eventually fall. I had a cam seal leak, on the front of my motor up top. 1999 3.4 V6 . The front was wet but gravity took that oil to my block,crossmember, skid plate all over, I had no idea where it was leaking. Start by looking higher....a.k.a. follow it up and you will find the source of the leak. Since then replaced cam seals and no more leak. A couple of washes with degreaser and my truck is clean, my garage floor is clean and I am happy.

    this was the case. its been at the dealer all day today and will be there all day tomorrow too. ITs funny cause when i dropped it off i said i think my rear main seal is bad.. and then i get a call 8 hours later saying "your rear main seal is bad, we'll have to keep it until tomorrow"

    cool

    Good story with a happy ending (not the massage parlor type though).

    Now go learn how to change your own oil and never let a Jiffy Lube "technician" touch your truck again. Last time I did, I got a free flashlight, rag and adjustable wrench out of the deal - CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY LEFT IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT!
