Been having problems with my truck leaking a lot of oil. I don't drive it that much, since I work from home now, but I really want to get it right, and I don't like dripping oil on the environment and I don't want to see my truck go up in flames. So, I pulled my oil pump to replace the seal again. Long story, but a shop did my timing chain, messed it up, then I had to do it again. Since the seal was installed not so long ago, i thought that it would be okay to leave it. after the truck kept leaking from that area (I think!) I thought I would give it another shot. I pulled it off and I found the lip "chipped" near the end, probably from where the shop replaced any. Questions are: Should I replace it or just run it? I am leaning toward replace it. BTW, I called the stealership cause I have it torn down now and I didn't want to leave it that way and they want $210!!! So, I called Ted... no answer... it's Saturday I guess. LOL. I'd rather go with Engbldr anyway...Maybe a HV???
Please take a gander at

Sorry for the poor shots, but my camera... Anyway, the oil pump is sitting on my drain pan and the yellow you see is the vapor release thingie.
