Last week I developed a radiator hose leak on the bottom hose....only had to add water once....just a split at the clamp...cut 1/2" off, clamped it back on, good to go....did that on Sunday evening....Monday, I noticed oil dripping out of the crankcase vent tube on the front of the engine on the passenger side and oil has blown out everwhere underneath and rear of truck..about a pint mabey...this truck has never leaked a drop of oil...as of today truck still reads no oil loss on stick but it is still leaking plenty...any ideas before I take it in to the dealer?...could I have knocked something loose that I am missing visually?....there is also a little bit of roughness at idle...the truck has 82000 mi. ...thanks, Boots

Ask you question at: http://dieselplace.com/forum/

These trucks rotinely are a bit rough at idle, I'm told the injectors get out of balance. The engine seems happiest when it's loaded and working.

Is your oil pressure dropping, as in a leaky injector adding fuel to the crankcase?

nope, all guages are normal....

Boots,

sounds like you have a bad injector diluting the oil with diesel. Get the oil analysed quick before you damage a turbo or rod bearings.

Was it the clamp, like the guy on The Diesel Place suggested?

I don't see what clamp he's talking about......I'm thinking the injector problem sounds like it has some merit.......thanks

Let us know...............

I will...it's heading to the dealer on Monday.....Boots

Boots,

What was the problem?

Well, they've had it for a week and I might get it back Tuesday......they said so far I'm gettin 8 new injectors, oil change and fuel filter and they were looking further....they got me a 05 1500 4d sb ls to ride around in last friday after a bit of prodding......will post again when I get it back with the lowdown.....Boots

Thanks. Sounds like your dealer is taking care of you like he should.

I registered at the diesel place but it won't let me open anything. Am I missing something?
I didn't see anything that would help.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but are you sure you were logged on? That has bit me before on that sight.

My user name comes up and it shows the new posts. When I click on one it acts as if I am not logged in.

Got the truck back and she's running strong.......thanks, Boots
