Ok so i leave this morning and go do some yard work and go jet skiing damn that was cold but that is a hole nother story. so i got home about a 1/2 an hour ago and as i pull into the garage i see a puddle right dead center inbetween the wheels up front. at first i thought mabey the filter or plug b/c i just changed the oil last week. so i get the light out and look under there and oil is everywhere all over the skid plate up front, it had splattered oll over the exsaust and on back. plug looked good as well as the filter. it is dark here so i can't really see. but if anybody has an idea please help.

BTW it is down on oil but not all the way to add.
it is an ecsb 5.3 4x4 no motor mods

 

is it leaking from the front of the motor??? if its leaking from the front of the motor it might be the front seal.

 

Front seal or timing chain gasket most likely.

 

i can't tell where it is coming from. it is dark here and i don't have a jack at my house. the skid plate is in the way so i can't see directly up the motor.

 

If it all over your skid plate, i think derek_silvy called it. front seal or time cover. Check it out when you can bro.

 

guess i will be calling the dealer in the morning! any body know how long i can drive on it or should i? i would need to get to work and about 50 miles to my dealer!

 

You should be fine if you are going to take care of it very soon. And it all depends on how much oil you are leaking. If you have to drive it make sure you keep checking the oil. But you should be fine.
