Dad checked the bolt that was mentioned and you can stick your finger between the hole and where the botl would come through and possibly hit the adapter .. so I think we're ok there. The oil filer looks good, seal on the oil filter looks good.

We started the truck again for a few min and put a rolled up paper towel behind the main seal. It pulled oil immediatelly into the towel.

We're thinking the rear main might have been installed backwards. The truck is apart right now. We're going to drop the pan one day next week and replace the rear main seal. More to come ..

Galley plugs are tight. (or seem to be, the ones we can get to) It looks like it is the main seal. Let's hope so ..

Stay tuned.
