    Recently when I get off work I see a stain know the cement when I approach my truck and I look underneath the whole bottom of the engine is covered in oil. Checked under the hood it's all fine and no oil anywhere except the bottom of the engine. If anyone knows what's leaking lmk, Mahalo

    Is the drain plug on tight?

    Could be the rear seal on the engine

    If no signs of oil leakage there,then check engine & trans & brake oil levels to see if losing any of them!

    If you have the 20R or 22R engine it may well be the front crank oil seal. This is a common fail item and can go from a small leak to a major flood.
    Clean off the area behind the crank pulley and watch for leaks with engine running. Be sure you have plenty of oil in the crankcase.
    New seals are les than $15.00

    I would start cleaning those parts covered with oil and try to determine where it is coming from.
