[Factory Guy]

Pulled the engine and she was really oily, everywhere that wasn't visible, including the transmission leaking out the rear main seal, (no wonder I had so many oil drips underneath the TRUCK!)

It appears somebody pulled the oil pan in the last 5 years to reseal it? as it is super clean and somebody painted the oil pan), so somebody tried to stop the oil leaking issues?? Upon engine removal it was pretty obvious the engine had never been out of the truck.

So I will start on the cleaning process.

The firewall drives me nuts on how unkept it looks (all the black stuff sprayed everywhere). My guess is GM let it leave the factory like this (since we have owned this truck since 1975). I know nobody in our family ever sprayed anything on the firewall.
