I have discovered an oil leak from the front of the engine block. After doing a search on oil leaks, I see that a common problem is oil leaking from timing cover. Where is this located? Mine seems to be comming from the center front of the block (crank seal?)There is evidence of oil on the bottom half of the block and down over (under) the oil pan.

My truck is at the dealer now but I just wanted to see if anyone else had a (crank) seal leak. comments?

I had the same problem with my 98, They found
it just before the warranty ran out. I took it
in for front brakes but they found that and the power steering were leaking . They fixed
all three things in two days,but they left some bolts loose. These were on the p/s pump.
I hope there are not any more loose too.
Just a warning,,don't take your truck to earnhardts ford in Tempe AZ.
