Yes ... but this is the truck that had so much oil pressure it blew the oil filter off. That's why I had to do the oil pump. No telling what the hell seals/plugs it blew out.

I saw one guy say if his is over the low line on the dipstick it leaks.
Was yours dripping on the flywheel side of the dust cover?

I am not going to say that this is your problem,but check your tranny fluid and make sure that the leak is not from your tranny. I fought what I thought was an oil leak because the fluid was brown. My tranny was fluid brown and it was coming from a tranny line blowing fluid out when running hard. Replaced the line and I also added a tranny cooler and my leak issue is gone.

Well, I am about tired of dicking with it so i will probably drive it and monitor the oil level for a while. Just hope I don't get pulled over by a state trooper like I did when I seafoamed a 200SX once.
