I finally have my 1950 1/2T drivable. I've been driving short trips when I have a chance. I have noticed a drip of oil from under the left side under the dash. I haven't had a chance to investigate as I spend more time at work in front of the computer. I figured there must be some source I need to look at or fix for this and wanted to see if anyone out there could help me with it. It looks to be engine oil.
Thanks

Probably the capillary tube to the oil pressure gauge is cracked or not tight. It could be someone put too much lube in the speedo cable & it's leaking out but that chance would be pretty remote. I don't know any other thing under the dash that would have oil in it.

I did re-harness before I started to drive so I will look at the oil pressure tube and see if that's it.
I'll let you know.
