RAM 1500 Oil Leak

RAM 1500 Oil Leak coming from the engine oil cooler on the 3.6L engine

[@2quicktrap]

Thanks for the Video…. I just had a 100k miles service done at Dealership…. I told them I had a leak underneath. They told me it was something else… I’m going to look for my paperwork….. they never mentioned the oil cooler. I think they knew, but didn’t tell me ….. if they would have told…crazy me…. I would have paid just to save time… I called to ask them how much for the oil cooler replacement dealer service $1350 plus tax…. I call deal parts to price the part $265….. found that autozone carries an aluminum housing…. I’m thing about changing both out…. Thanks again

I have the exact same problem let’s see what dodge says

The dealers will try to tell you it’s the rear main seal, and will charge you every penny for it. Of course it’s nearly impossible to see the rear of the valley without pulling off all the plastic covers to confirm it’s the oil filter housing/cooler. If you have oil leaking/spraying under your truck in a similar way as in this video and you have the means to diy, it’s a no brainer to take this project on yourself. If nothing else you should be able to verify fairly quickly whether it’s indeed the culprit or if you have more going on that you might need to get someone else involved. I haven’t come across a video of this repair being done on a ram but south main has a full length video of one in a charger or something, where it’s transversely mounted, so you can definitely see more of what’s going on at least.

@@piezoman79 with the truck it’s hard to tell, the front of the engine is a little higher on the front so the oil drains back… it’s hard to look down where the filter is to see the oil in the valley. On the transverse engines it really easy to look down past the filter and see the oil.

Thank you so much Sir You save me

I did my rear main seal nd still leaking u think it’s this

[@grandenauto3214]

Could be; if the rear seal was done you’d probably see the oil coming down from the intake

@grandenauto3214 i think that's where my leak is co.ing from

[@grandenauto3214]

@@ssppaannkkyy07 if you look down at the oil filter, past the filter into the valley, you may see oil down there … use a flashlight.
