I apologize ahead of time for the long post
When I first got the 1028 home I noticed it was dripping oil pretty good from the very front edge of the oil pan where it is turned down. It was leaking pretty good and after researching here a good bit I decided I would check the cdr first. I pulled it off and cleaned it (even though it did not seem dirty to me at all). Drove it for a few more days and it was still leaking bad. About 10 days ago Me and my brother pulled the pan and put a new gasket on it. I thought it was strange that there was no gasket except for the small rubber one over the rear main cap, but after reading the tm i understood this to be normal. I decided to use a full gasket when reinstalling the pan as I didn't want to have to do this twice. I i used a small bead on the pan and placed the gasket in it then ran a small bead on the block. Put everything back together and the leak was gone......for about a week.
I don't know if it would be related or not as I cannot imagine how it would be but I was driving on a back road and was pulling up a steep hill (so the engine was working pretty hard) and heard a noise all of the sudden. Kind of a low humming sound. Came to a stop and it slowed with the engine rpm it seemed. Checked the transfer case, transmission and all fluids everything seemed fine. But after that I noticed it was leaking oil out the converter inspection cover pretty badly. I tried to get the truck to duplicate the noise again but I could not. So I pulled the inspection cover and saw that where the pan goes over the rear main cap oil was leaking very badly over the pan lip under the rtv. So my question is where do I use rtv? are you not supposed to use it on that back edge?
