The latest debacle:

I went to start the engine and primed the engine with oil prior to starting it about 2 days later (Still have not started it yet), I noticed a pretty good sized oil spot (10" in diameter) under the power steering pump area (if it was installed). Upon further inspection I am finding that the oil seems to been leaking between the oil pan and the block right below the negative ground cable bolt? See yellow arrow in picture.

So now I am pulling the oil pan and installing a new gasket. Thank God the engine wasn't in the truck.

This why I like running them outside the vehicle BEFORE installing them!
