*grumble* - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just slid under my truck for a quick check (I was going to change the oil, then realized I didn't have enough time before work) and realized the entire bottom of the pan is wet...with oil, of course...

The oil filter looks clean, so it's not coming out around there, I don't think...the front of the engine is clean (and the front main seal is new) so I don't think it's that...it's always been a bit moist but now it's wet enough to spray some back as far as the tranny tailshaft...and the oil consumption is getting worse.

What do you guys think? Pan gasket? How hard is it to replace on one of these trucks? (original smallblock)
