Greetings,

Bought this truck a few days ago. Had midas lift it and check exhaust for me and noticed the bottom front of engine is coated in oil and I am seeing drops of it on the driveway. From what I could tell, the mess starts below the timing chain cover. What are the chances the oil pan gasket needs replacing? Also looks like I'll be replacing the P/S pump and hoses.

Thanks.

I looked it over again and the oil drip is near the rear of the pan. I'm gonna try to get it replaced soon.

Looks like the beast will be in the shop tomorrow to get the pan gasket replaced. I hope that's all it needs.
