Timing chain cover leak---Tracker/fixes

[Vtur]

Forgot to add. The first thing you would do when working on a vehicle is disconnect the battery. When I looked at it the main was disconnected, and when I opened the door to get my daughter’s license, the interior light came on. Then I realized he didn’t disconnect the aux battery. Not that it’s a huge deal, as I’ve worked on vehicles before without disconnecting, but as a tech at a dealership, that should be the first thing you do.

Mine was leaking right above the ground cable on passenger side but not from the timing cover, it's between the bed plate and block. Fear of an engine replacement so i just applied some JB welded instead lol. 25k+ miles so far and no more leaks.

Truck is still at the dealer. What was supposed to be an 8 hour fix is now going on day 5. Not a good sign. I’m going to stop there today after work and see how it’s going as I’ve not gotten any updates on what’s happening.

If you can and if it’s still torn apart it would be cool if you could grab some pictures of the engine area torn apart. Interested to see it without all the accessories attached

Went there this afternoon and they had it buttoned up already and running in the back. He was bleeding air from the cooling system. Had been running for about half an hour. He said it is leaking slightly from the drivers cylinder head. There is a black plastic thing there with an o ring that needs to be changed. I’ll take it back for that I guess. They still have to test drive it but getting closer.

So they say they had the o-ring in stock and changed it. It's now ready to go. I'll go get it tomorrow. The o-ring was under the oil separator he said. I tried looking online but can't find any info about what it is. It is this part here:
