I need to borrow some brain power.

I have an oil leak on my 1986 GMC sierra. It seems to be dead center and about 1.5ft back from the front of the truck.
Im looking for ideas on what to check.
Im really new to this stuff so thanks for babysitting me.

Re: I need to borrow some brain power.

Start looking there, trace the leak to the highest point of wetness.

A good way is to put a clean big piece of cardboard down and park the front wheels on the edge of it and then when a spot occurs, slide under the truck with a light and find the drop and then trace it up as mentioned.

Good luck.
