What are some of the common oil leaks on the front of a 6.2? Mine appears to have a leak somewhere near the lower radiator hose connection to the water pump. The oil is somehow getting onto and dripping from the frame cross member. Any Ideas? This is an 86 CUCV with 49K on the clock.

Thanks to both. Looks like I need to research a bit more but, you have both pointed me in the right direction.

Ok, so my 86 CUCV does not have a starter bracket installed. The starter has been switched over to a 12V instead of the original 24V. There is a bracket bolted to the block but, not the starter. I am thinking it may have been for the 24V starter. Are the brackets different? Does anyone...

Lift pump was leaking. Replaced and now no more fuel leaking. Hydro-Booster is the next leaking problem. :)

Thanks.

Well, that is where I should install the clear hose. Correct?

Thanks. I appreciate the information.

Ok, so it comes out of the IP and makes a 90 degree bend down to the hard line. About 6" in total length. Right?

I had a chance to go out and look somewhat closer. The top of the engine is dry but, it would appear to be coming from the lower end as it is only wet looking down on the cross member and the vent hose out of the front axle. I think it may be the mechanical lift pump or the supply line rubber...

Ok, so I noticed today that there was a spot under my 1986 CUCV in front of the front axle. It was definitely fuel and not oil. Any guess as to where this is coming from? The fuel is dripping off of the cross member and the hose for the breather to the front axle. How does the fuel get from...

This maybe in the wrong forum and if so, if the modulators could move it to the proper forum, I would appreciate it. I have a 1986 M1008 Chevy. The problem is that when I try to start it, I have to turn the ignition switch abnormally far to activate the starter and I really have to turn it...

Do you to know the size of the hose and is it possible to get clear fuel line that I can leave on? I believe the issue is with air or possibly the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is going bad will it still run or just dead period?

tanman_2006 - How do you properly check for air leaks? No, I did not check the compression yet. What should it be and how is it accomplished?

tanman_2006 - Batteries and all cabling are brand new. I cannot tell you the RPM that it is turning while cranking but, it is plenty fast enough. I do not know the age of the IP and injectors but, I would assume they are original. The truck only has 47K on it. The truck idles very nice once...

As I have posted before, I have a new to me 1986 CUCV. I am experiencing some different issues. Any input would be appreciated. 1. When cold starting it takes forever. New Duraterms with bypass relay. GPs are working. When I say forever it take about 4 to 6 cycles of the GPs of 15...
