Another 6B Oil Leak Question.

[Victor]

Been chasing an oil leak on my starboard engine. I thought it was the front seal or cover so I replaced them both. The oil seems to be dripping from the front outboard side of the engine. I can’t get my eyes on it so it’s difficult to get pics. All I know is that it drips from that corner.

The oil filter adapter is dry. The only remaining gaskets to replace (that I can think of) is the gear cover gasket that mates to the engine or the oil pan.

Is there something I’m missing? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Check the oil cooler, check the Turbo oil return orifice. Front cover gasket.

Get a mechanics mirror with a gooseneck and flashlight.

Oil pan???
