Hey all,
I have a 2004 Av with 5.3. I had recently changed the oil pan gasket and a diff seal on the truck, about a month and a half ago. And I am having the same type of oil leak. I checked it periodically and saw no new wet spots. Went camping this weekend towing a RPod camper about 2600Lbs only about 40 km there and 40km back and took a look when we got back, there's oil forming a drip on the drain plug, and forming on the oil filter. It was clean last week no there's a fine oil coat starting on the pan.
I used a felpro gasket, did then 1in bead on the four corners when the block meets the rear and front. And torqued accordingly as well as replaced the rear 2 bolts.
Any suggestions where I should be looking?
