Oil On Underside Of Truck.
I WENT TO THE GARBAGE DUMPS TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OFF THE OTHER DAY, AND SOME GUY WAS ALREADY THERE THROWING HIS TRASH AWAY. HE WAS DRIVING A 92-95 FORD F-150 4WD 351ci(MAYBE). AS I WAS WAITING IN LINE, AND AS HE PULLED OUT HE PEELED OUT LIKE HE WAS MAD OR SOMETHING, AND SORT OF GIVE ME THAT LOOK LIKE MY TRUCK WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO HIS.(SMARTA$$.) AFTER I THREW MY TRASH AWAY, I WENT DOWN THE ROAD AN THERE HE WAS AT A GAS STATION PUMPING GAS. SO RODE BY HIM REAL SLOWLIKE AND STARED HIM DOWN. AND AS I STARED HIM DOWN, I SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND FLOORED IT AND LET OFF THE CLUTCH. I LIT THE TIRES UP ALL THE WAY THROUGH FIRST AND CHIRPED EM' AS I HIT SECOND. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING EXTREMLY HIGH UP THERE IN RPM'S SO I LET OFF. COULD HAVE CHIRPED EM' IN THIRD TOO. AFTER I GOT HOME(I THOUGHT HOW STUPID OF ME TO DO THAT TO MY NEW 2001 TRUCK)I COULD HAVE BLOWN IT UP OR RIPPED THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF IT OR SOMETHING. SO I LOOKED AT THE ENGINE FOR OIL LEAKS. CHECKED THE GASKETS AND ALL. NO LEAKS WHATSOEVER. EXCEPT FOR A LITTLE OIL COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TUBE ON TOP OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VALVE COVER, THAT CONNECTS TO THE ELBOW COMING FROM THE AIRBOX TO THE THROTTLE BODY. AND THERE IS SOME OIL OR SOMETHING ON THE FRONT OF THE REAREND HOUSING. WHAT COULD THIS BE? AND WHERE COULD IT BE COMING FROM? IS THERE AN OVERFLOW TUBE ON THE REAREND THAT COULD HAVE BLOWN OUT SOME DIFF OIL ONTO THE HOUSING? I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING I'LL NEVER BE STUPID ENOUGH TO PULL THAT STUNT AGAIN! LOL! ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. TIA.

Wolverine,
Are you possibly referring to the PCV valve tube? That sits on the Passenger side Valve cover. As for the differential the leak is probaply the pinion seal. Have the dealer look at both. There should be no leaks coming from your truck. BTW do not mention the partch you layed nor the 2nd gear chirp....
