Re: 2001 burb oil leak. help!

You know, my Mom's Suburban is doing the same. Loses about a quart maybe between oil changes an its been babied all of its life. The one thing I've seen is that the 2001 trucks seem to have an oil leak than most other newer years for some reason. IDK? I've thought it was the main seal but I prolly should check those sensors again just to make sure maybe. Its also a 2001.

BTW to the OP: Saw in a earlier post of yours that your from gulf states, i'm from Mississippi actually too.

Well maybe i can get away without pulling the motor like truckdude says. The wifes burb leaks right at 1qt. In between oil change. Changes a little depending on how much driving it sees. Only leaks when running and seems to be from the area of the sensors. Yeah i miss the good ole gulf coast food. Love the northwest though, and i dont plan on moving back to that swamp ill stay in this desert as long as i can. They just dont know how to cook up here is all.
