That thing is clean. Never would've guessed the mileage was anywhere near what it is.

Some more pics. Broke my “remove the inner fender” cherry. Wanted to see the oil leak I am chasing down from a different perspective. Took some extra pics while I was in there.

Moar pics

Oil leak. It’s either the pan gasket or block off plate gasket. Hopefully the latter.

Something else caught my eye. Wetness in the corner of that plastic bracket.

Radiator tank seal is weeping. Not enough to drip on the ground but still sucks.

Radiator, hoses, antifreeze, trans cooler while we are in there? Gonna have to take a while to save up dollars.

Fixed the water filled lights issues with some drilled drain holes in the bottoms. Took a week to dry out but it passed the car wash test just fine the other night. Nothing got back in. I already siliconed the aftermarket headlight housings. Some loose bulb sockets let some water in somehow. All good now though.

Try to snug up your pan bolts and see if that helps. I have seen them work loose a bit.

I already checked the ones I can get to, they were all tight. I am hoping it's the block off plate. Speaking of which need to get that sucker ordered right now...

 

[89Suburban]

Ok that gasket is ordered.
