Hello all!
I have a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71 4WD. (396,000 Miles)
It was leaking oil a pretty good bit, so I got the oil pan gasket replaced, oil pick up tube o-ring, oil cooler block off gasket, valley covers, knock sensor seals, and both valve covers. Well after all that, it's still leaking, but once the parts/gaskets were replaced, my oil pressure is higher than what it used to do.
Before repairs: 45psi/Cold - 40psi/Warm - and maybe 45-50 at 1300RPM 50 MPH.
After repairs: 60psi/Cold- right below 40psi/warm and 55-60psi at 1300 RPM 50MPH.
Remember it's still leaking oil after the repairs. And I go 30 miles round trip to work mon thru Fri. Before the repairs, at 50MPH 1300 RPM, for 5 days, it would be a tad bit above 3/4 of a tank.
But now, same speed, same rpm, 5 days, I'm on 1/4 of a tank. I don't see or smell any gas at all, but I smell oil burning everytime I shut the truck off, because of the leak. Is that oil pressure normal now because the o-ring on the pickup tube is replaced? And the gas would be a big help. Any help really is appreciated.
