Elusive engine oil leak
Thank you, Fless, for a good lead. The location of the crankshaft position sensor matches the observed drip drip drip. I'm working outdoors so will hope for a warm day soon. This Yukon is not my daily driver so I can wait for a while.- Daniel B Martin

Elusive engine oil leak
2004 GMC Yukon SLT VIN 1GKFK16Z54J122888 5.3L V8 Bone stock A nasty (and worsening) engine oil leak. Drip, drip, drip while the engine is running.

Driver's door switches are "dead"

Driver's door switches are "dead"
2004 GMC Yukon SLT VIN 1GKFK16Z54J122888 New Member, first post. I recently acquired this vehicle knowing it needs a lot of work. All the electric switches on the driver's door are "dead." The power windows operate normally from each individual door switch, except the driver's door. Same...- Daniel B Martin
