Title: What?! No Oil!?
Post by: srozell on January 08, 2015, 11:08:58 pm

When I bought the truck I checked all the fluid reservoirs. All were topped up and looked clean, except the window wash fluid reservoir which was literally just thrown in beside the engine, empty, but still ... "plumbed".

I put the truck in my heated shop for a few days to dry out and went out there today to pull out the old nasty headliner and something under the truck caught my eye.

There is not a drip of fluid of any type on my shop floor!  I'm so excited!

Isn't it nice whenever they don't mark their territory?

Yeah! Exactly.

Now that I know my truck doesn't leak, I can't wait to get in there with a pressure washer and degrease the heck out of it.

Most times,  pressure washing is the best way to find a leak, get everything clean then start checking.
