Oil leak

Recommended Posts

With the temperatures in the mid 60's I headed down to work on my old Mack today. I was hoping to put an end to a power steering leak that has plagued the truck since I bought it. After running the engine for a little while I noticed a "stripe " of oil on my plywood under the truck.I also noticed oil on my belts, fuel filter and passenger side fender. I am thinking the main seal is shot? What are your opinions of this. Could it be something else that is easier to fix? With the V8 gone and the longer 237 in line 6 block it is very tight under there near the radiator. The seal is about $25 , yet the radiator and fenders will just about have to come off to do this repair . UGH! no wonder the tilt hood was designed!
