97 K2500 5.7L - Massive Oil Leak! -Easy Fix!

This customer thought he blew out his rear main seal, but it was actually his oil cooler adapter gasket. Its an easy fix using Dorman Part #82560.

Lol. Yea i thought mine was rear main too, but I kept thinking whys there so much oil running down the damn filter.. so got under there w a light n saw it seeping from top of adapter. Bout to try n fix this sht

[@leh3827]

I gotta get back under there to check it out again but I don't remember seeing it dripping off of the oil filter. Was the one you fixed dripping right out of the bottom of the bell housing and inspection plate area? I did a direct hayseed fix on mine. I thought it was the rear main seal so I bungeed an 8"x10" aluminum pan under there to catch the drips. I am going to put a petcock on it so I can drain it once or twice a year at oil change time. I call it a clever labor saving solution! I DO NOT CHERISH PULLING THE DRIVE TRAIN TO GET AT THAT REAL MAIN SEAL! Thanks for this video.

I don't cherish the thought of pulling the drive train to change a main seal, THAT IS FOR CERTAIN! 😅

When I turn on my 89 Chevy Silverado it starts pissing out oil I wonder if it’s a nut that came off because I see a hole or if it’s your situation

[@JBAutomotive794]

You get it sorted out?

[@SKIESTHELIMIT91.]

I did it was the gasket but now I have another issue lol I helped this lady with a jump and I’m pretty sure I put the cables on correctly long story short her car never turned on didn’t even have power to crank I gave her a ride back to work as I was leaving my truck smelled a bit like burned and started running weak and shaky

@@SKIESTHELIMIT91. oof, hope everything works out okay.

[@Tyler.Schafer]

Did that paper gasket pop right out?

[@JBAutomotive794]

The large O ring is usually the culprit.

[@Tyler.Schafer]

@@JBAutomotive794 can I leave the paper gasket then? Lol
