Oh this is interesting. I was just in the process of replacing the ring seal around the top of my intake pump when I noticed that the orange rtv sealer was used AGAIN in place of a real gasket. :evil: Now this makes me wonder where else it was used.
Thanks, I'll keep a close eye on the symptoms. I had the oil changed the day I got the truck by a diesel mechanic. I watched him drain the oil and the only noticeable characteristic is that the oil appeared very watery. The term he used was "thin" so I suppose extremely old/used. Didn't see any...
After reading the manual it states the oil level needs to appear between the "add oil" and "full" mark on the dipstick. Well mine is clearly above the "full" mark, so I'm wondering if the oil leak could have occurred due to overfilling of the oil? Or would it have shown itself sooner than now?

What are the best ways of removing the wheels on a deuce? I'm thinking of either going with a pneumatic impact wrench or a breaker bar type of setup. Will the impact wrench be able to run off the deuces emergency air with a 3/8 fitting? Also, What size/type sockets will be needed for lug removal?
Bill, I do recognize and appreciate all the help that you've provided. I meant no disrespect at all. I know excuses, right? But I was already irritated at the time i typed up that response, so i apologize. I took it the wrong way, which i guess is easy to do over the internet. Also, I'll do what...
