Causes of diesel engine oil leaks
Most oil leaks are a result of deterioration of a part of your engine. The most common cause of oil leaks is the oil gasket. Sludge starts to build up if the engine gets damaged or as it starts to degrade over time. This sludge causes the oil gasket to break down and then oil starts to leak.
Another common part that can cause oil leaks is the oil pan. Since the oil pan is on the underside of your truck it is common for it to get hit with rocks, branches and other debris on the road. All of these can leave small dents in the pan which can easily turn into holes where the engine oil can leak from.
If the oil filler cap is not secured properly or missing entirely, parts of your engine can become covered in oil resulting in oil leaks. The oil filter itself can also be the cause of oil leaks due to the filer wearing out, becoming misaligned or coming loose.
It is strongly advised to consult with a professional on these matters before the issue becomes worse or potentially dangerous. We can help to diagnose exactly where the oil leak is coming from and devise an affordable and effective solution to have your diesel engine in smooth operating condition once more.

PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED. Nearly $500 for a leaky radiator hose, charged for 10 gallons of antifreeze when the truck was almost full of brand new antifreeze which I guess nobody bothered to save, 2 hours of labor when they changed the hose in 10 minutes and a serious attitude problem when we asked about the shady bill. The hose itself costs $35.00 at the local dealer....In the end we just wanted to pay our bill and be on our way but they refused to accept our credit card and insisted on cash payment, fearing a claim because of their shady services. Lost nearly 5 hours and had to get the local police involved so that they would accept a DEBIT card because our driver did not have enough cash on him. STAY AWAY.PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED.

Positive: ProfessionalismPaul was friendly and professional and the mechanic that came out to jump me was great and very helpful. I got a jump start at the J which was literally rt across the street! The charge was $125 which I think is outrageous but what really got me is the tax that was added on! Paul you might want to consider a more reasonable price for jump starts, no real labor is done and it took 10 minutes!! Sometimes you need to give a little to get a lot more business! I’m an o/o we all need to help each other out! I am thankful for your help but I doubt I’ll give you more of my business because if you charge that much for a jump start rt across the street, I can imagine what you prices are for any kind of real labor. Which I could be more positive but being overcharged is one of my pet peeves. Btw TA charges $44 for a jump start in there parking lot which is literally the same distance or less.Paul was friendly and professional and the mechanic that came out to jump me was great and very helpful.
