10 W What the hell?

Friday morning I was all set to get a little accomplished with the truck. I mainly planned to attack the oil leak. It started leaking after I changed the oil a couple of weeks ago. Since I am still trying to make sure there is no gas in the oil, from the bad fuel pump, it was not a total waste.

But it is now leaking worse than ever. Racecar Man suggested that I might have cross threaded the drain plug. Bummer. But he also had a possible solution. I could install an oil drain, like the Fram SureDrain. I am going to go pick one up and install it, once the oil all leaks out of the pan.

Are you sure that it's leaking fom the oil plug? I once had a horrible leak after a change - i turned out that the rubber ring seal (top of the filter) had remained, so there were 2 on, and they leaked. (One from the old filter, and one from the new one).

It's all about the drain plug. The filter is at least 4 inches from the drain pan.

But I am sure that will happen to me someday.
