I've never had a leak that bad on my truck, sounds like the fan air maybe blowing oil all over the place. Check to make sure it's oil first, then wash it down. The turbo uses oil so be sure there is not a leak there.Hows it goin eh? Well, fellow MV lovers, this canuk just purchased a deuce. I had an 850 mile trip to bring her home and had only 2 issues, I am looking for advice and help with the first one cause I know how to resolve my second issue. About a little less than half way home after stopping for fuel, I noticed an excessive amount of oil around the right side of the truck. Checking the oil, the level showed about 3 inches above the full mark. Oil pressure was running a constant 95-100 psi through the whole trip. other than that It ran great. so when I got home, the whole right side of the engine, wheel well, batteries, battery box, and pretty much all of the running gear was soaked with oil. Question, should I be worried and where do I go from here? what can I clean this mess up with? My second issue was the heat in the cab, it was hotter than a jalapeño ranch farmers breakfast in that cab.....and the lack of belly room did not help much either.
I have an oil leak, on the left side of the truck but not like you describe. Mine drips down onto the axle from behind the fuel filters.
