So… went out and cleaned the oil off the truck. Took it for a spin and it still leaks… crawled under it and found a light drip between the pan and balancer.

New oil pan gasket arrives Monday… so with nothing to lose, figured I’d check the pan bolts again. Front 2 took a few turns each and I saw the pan suck up.

Tomorrow I’ll clean it up and test it again. Potentially light at the end of the tunnel
