Well I took my truck in for an oil change....Last time I do that

Now I have a consistent leak above the starter, as it is soaked everytime I clean it off. Did my own change and still does it.

Drain plug is clean and so is the filter. Maybe oil pan gasket but never had a problem till after I took it in.

Truck is a 99 Silverado 5.3L. Stock.

Any ideas?

 

Crank sensor
Whomever did the oil change had a spill
valve cover gasket

 

or your dipstick is leaking!

 

Above the starter? How high? Check to make sure your dipstick tube is properly seated still. I was on a wild goose chase trying to find an oil leak until my roommate pointed out that the o-ring on the dipstick tube wasn't pushed in far enough to seal it.

 

I'll check the dipstick tube. No oil from the valve covers. The oil is new, from my own recent oil change, so no spill.

Thanks guys. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
