Fixing an oil leak on a 6.2L Cadillac Escalade Yukon Denali Tahoe Suburban Silverado

I had a slow leak on my 2008 Cadillac Escalade. This video shows me finding and diagnosing the leak as well as the steps I took to repair the leak. I ended up replacing a gasket on a oil line cooler plug on the oil pan. It has been a couple of weeks now since I changed the gasket and it has completely stopped leaking.

I have the 6.2L in a GMC Sierra Denali and it’s been leaking oil, I’m praying to God this is the problem and not the main seal. I’ll pop that plate off and check inside for oil tomorrow. Thank you for the video. It’s leaking more than just a few drops a week though

[@OmarsGarage]

Just take a look at it and see if you can see where the leak is coming from. The rear main seal leak is very common on these trucks. Hope that it’s just the block off plate like mine was.

[@nathanrastatter2670]

Thanks again for this video. I did the same repair, using the links for the materials. I was able to slide right under the truck without lifting it or removing the tires. I did the repair about 10 days ago and have since taken the truck off-roading as well as driving around town. This repair worked like a charm. Cost was about 13 bucks and maybe an hour of my time. I laid on my back and worked upside down, using a headlamp for light. If I had to do this repair again, I bet it would take 30 minutes only. Thanks for this excellent video!

[@OmarsGarage]

Hey thanks for letting me know it worked for you. Makes it worth it to make these videos when I know it’s helped someone else 👍

[@shooter3288]

What is that part actually called that you changed the gasket on?

[@ciscoh1]

Did you have to drain the oil before this job?

[@tomcummings7162]

Thanks Omar!! Bought a 2001 Yukon XL 3 years ago. Got the big things out of the way first. Kept scratching things of off the "to do" list. Down to the small things, and it was time for the oil cooler block off plate. Two bolts, new gasket and RTV. Probably a 15 minute job. Thanks for supplying the part #, made it easy. So far, nice n dry, no leak. thanks Tom

[@adrianrangel3908]

I replace the gasket and the leak still there what else could be

[@OmarsGarage]

Could be several things, if it’s an older vehicle it could be the rear main seal. Any other symptoms? Smoke from the exhaust or anything else?

Do u have to drain to do this

[@OmarsGarage]

@tlee7954 no.

[@deshaunharris3381]

Great video man I been on alot of forums that said 07-09 has leaking problems. Could be manifold gasket or as I just learned from you the oils cooler cap gaskets. I will try that tomorrow. Keep up the good work TY.

[@OmarsGarage]

It's worth giving it a try. The rear main seal is also another place where it leaks. That's a much bigger project though the parts aren't that expensive. Hope this solves your leak like it solved mine.

[@ScarabChris]

Just did this repair on my 2008 EXT. No question oil was leaking from this oil cooler plug. I replaced it with the aftermarket part. No more leaks from there. But my truck is also for sure leaking from the rear crank seal. With the engine running I can see oil dripping from that round snap in cover on the trans bell housing. I guess now I have to find a shop that can pull the engine. Ugh

[@OmarsGarage]

Most likely the rear main seal.

[@fredfischer9318]

Good stuff. Thanks. I didn’t use the gasket. Just used the rite stuff by mr gasket. It’s lil pricey but promise ya it won’t leak. Ever. Lol

[@OmarsGarage]

The gasket is pretty cheap but I’m sure the mr. Gasket stuff creates a pretty good seal.

[@jeromesimmons8646]

That’s what I wanted to know if I could just used the gasket sealant instead of the gasket.

[@nathanrastatter2670]

Thanks for the awesome video. Would this be pretty do-able if I couldn't lift my truck (I just have the one jack)? It seems like it would be a tight fit but from this video looks pretty straightforward

[@OmarsGarage]

I think you do it with just one jack. You may not even need to take the wheel off if you have the right tools. Removing the wheel also lends for more light and greater visibility. Good luck.

[@mariaflores-mm8mc]

Thank you 👏❤

[@artrivas5739]

Be careful when putting RTV on that oil cooler cap, any loose or excess RTV might get loose can go into your engine oil gullies and block the oil going to your cam, crank, rockers may end up loosing your engine.

[@kevinfraser640]

Thank you for the tips and Video Omar. Do you think you can have a drop in oil pressure as a symptom of this oil cooler gasket? I have oil leaking from this place and had oil pressure drop low enough to ring the alarm. Cheers, Merry Christmas

[@OmarsGarage]

I would guess that if the leak is big enough it could definitely cause a drop in oil pressure. You would probably notice a little more than just a couple drops here and there though.

[@boys3411]

Odd question. Have you ever had fluid leaking out of the front differential vent line? There is a capped line near the ECM on the drivers side that suddenly started leaking. Has about 2000 miles on front/rear diff fluid...and a new transmission, done by the GM dealership. 245k miles, I'm at a loss. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

[@gabrielorta5713]

thanks!

[@donaldmichels7898]

FYI,,,,,,,,,,,,as with any rtv there is a setup time. you should follow the instructions on the packaging. i believe its finger tight then wait 30 min to tighten. wait 24 hours to run the engine.

good video brother just one question I have to get the oil out first

[@OmarsGarage]

I didn’t remove the oil. Very little came out and I didn’t have to top it off.

[@christhomas267]

Working on an EXT with a 6.2. I was told to put a rear main and oil pan in it and it's still leaking oil. Aggravating

[@OmarsGarage]

This plug is above the oil pan. Have you been able to locate where the leak is coming from? Rear main seal is a lot of work.

[@christhomas267]

@@OmarsGarage The cap for the cooler lines is integral to the oil pan. It was leaking from the cap and the rear main originally There was excessive rtv everywhere so somebody was playing around in there beforehand. Unless the rear main cover and seal is defective, I'm starting to think the block might be cracked somewhere

[@salatiello1956]

Hi Omar, I was wondering how you determined that the leak was coming from the oil cooler block off and not the oil pan gasket?

[@OmarsGarage]

Process of elimination. I started off with the block off plate which was the easiest and cheapest to replace. If that hadn’t solved the issue I would have continued to troubleshoot.

[@jewllake]

Hola Omar! Were you able to do this with out draining the oil?

[@OmarsGarage]

I did not have to drain the oil. A small amount seeped out but nothing significant. I didn’t even have to top it off.

Yup, the link to the product I used is in the description. Also, another viewer in the comments recommend another cap made of billet that comes with a rubber gasket. That’s another option.

[@Midwestpyro__]

What rtv did you use and is that mandatory or an extra layer of protection??? About to do this job in 2 hours just need to know if the rtv is required

[@OmarsGarage]

As far as I remember the RTV is not necessary, I just did it as an extra measure of protection.

[@DominiAeternum]

How many miles on it when that started? Is that same plug and design on all the 5.3 V8's in the other GM SUV's?

[@OmarsGarage]

I noticed it at around 110,000 miles. This is a 6.2 L engine I believe, but as far as I know most of them have this plug, or have a gasket for the oil cooler.

[@ss.savage]

Do you have to drain the oil first to replace this gasket? Like drain all the oil???

[@OmarsGarage]

I didn’t, only a little came out but not enough to even have to top it off. No need to drain oil.

If you are at 30% and are using synthetic oil I would probably drive it about 2000 more miles and change the oil then reset it when you change the oil again.

[@aaronarjes9086]

Correct way of diagnosing this types of issue is to clean, and put dye in the oil. I had the exact same thing and turned out it was coming from the front of the engine. You never know where the oil is coming as it sprays everyone driving down the road.

[@16bitPRNTZ]

I think mine is coming from the front do you have any details where in the front yours was

[@kthom2001]

Don’t need the dye! I was a Service Trainer for Kawasaki and we had a leak issue on some Z-1’s. Long story short, we found that cleaning everything off, then turning off the lights and using a Black light, the leaking oil looks WHITE with the black light shining on it! Makes finding wheezy oil leaks super easy to chase!

[@tristenevans6370]

Anyone have any clue where a 05 Escalade LQ9 awd would leak oil where it’s all over the bell housing of transmission? If I can’t pin point it I’m just going to buy a complete seals kit for it

You don’t have to change the oil. A little will drain out but not a significant amount. I checked the oil level afterwards and I didn’t think I need to top it off or anything.

@@OmarsGarage thank you very much!

I need help. I want to know about where is location coolant temperature sensor cadillac escalade 2007

[@OmarsGarage]

The thermostat is located on the front of the engine on the passenger side right above the a/c compressor. It’s at the end of the hose. There’s also an oil pressure sensor that sometimes leaks that’s located on the driver side at the rear of the engine near the firewall behind a plastic trim piece and down. Mine was not leaking but was one of the first things I checked.

Hey boss what is the part called

[@OmarsGarage]

Link for it is in the description.

Hello I have a 2013 Escalade and it’s starting to leak oil like crazy!! If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated!

[@OmarsGarage]

If it’s leaking a lot it may be the rear main seal.

[@gregrrrichardson8587]

So no need to drain the oil??

[@OmarsGarage]

I didn’t drain mine…only a little came out…this is on the top lip of the oil pan so most of the oil sits below.

[@gustavocarrillo327]

You HAVE TO use silicone

[@josecantu4286]

Do you have to drain oil???

[@OmarsGarage]

Jose Cantu I didn’t drain the oil for this, though a little did come out it was a negligible amount and checked the oil level when I finished.

[@josecantu4286]

I did it in 30 min, i was told it was oil pan gasket $310.... $580 to might as well change rear seal... $6.00 and 30 minutes later u solved the leak.... i mean i did thanks to you!!!

[@OmarsGarage]

Jose Cantu that’s great. Glad it helped. 👍

[@djgrandedanxingentertainme5174]

Whats the name of the part

[@OmarsGarage]

It’s all in the description. The gasket is ACDelco 12611384 GM Original Equipment Oil Pan Cover Gasket and if you need to replace the part it’s call a block off plate.

[@OhioFunandGun]

How tight do the 10mm bolts need to be? Thanks!

[@OmarsGarage]

I just hand tightened them...i couldn't find any torque specs anywhere for them.

[@OhioFunandGun]

[@Sebastian-dx2xg]

I changed mine about 4 months ago. You shouldn’t have to use any rtv 🤔

[@OmarsGarage]

Not necessary with the gasket but I just did it for safe measure.

[@vdoggthahogg4618]

That’s my problem

[@OmarsGarage]

Hope that’s it….if that’s it then thank goodness. If it’s the rear main seal then it’s a little bit more work.

[@christopherflores9968]

I thought my escalade was having the same leak. Turns out it’s the oil pump with a medium leak

[@OmarsGarage]

Did you have an oil build up near the same spot?

[@HoustonR6ryda]

like #350 I, don't even have this leak.

[@OmarsGarage]

Nick Henton thanks for the like. Every bit helps my channel. 👍 Thanks for watching.
