oil leak

[melmount]

i have a small oil leak on drivers side rear, seems to be coming from side of head or back valve cover? It runs down the outer most edge of the cylinder head? any sensors or anything to leak around there?

Should be a warrantee issue on 07, no?

yep, but when i can i fix things myself, prefer to do it that way, if its a cheap o ring or something. Its just me, but i feel, i take better care of my truck then others do.

Well, it may take a tech and some oil dye along with an ultraviolet light to find the leak. Oil leaks on these engines have proven to be problematic to find. Let us know what you find.

I had a leak around the glow plug holes where they plug into the head.
Dealer installed new harness on the right side and it is fixed now.

check the ccv plumbing...the bit that attaches into the valve cover
is prone to cracking and the part was even revised.
