Any ideas?

I'm at a loss to what is going on a d where the oil is coming from. I just checked the oil pressure gauge again and it's dry. Ram the truck and nothing coming out of the gauge. I will take some better photos in the morning and post them up.

You could also pull the steering wheel and see of someone over did it and put lots of oil or grease in from the top? Couple ideas..... | | |
