Indeed! I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. Being able to bounce this off the forum was a tremendous help. Prior to this, the only benefit was finding cool ways to spend even more of my money on mods :)
Sunday Update: I private messaged my local detailer, who did the undercoating before winter and this was the response:
ME: Hello - is it possible for the underoil coating that you use to get into the hood, and then leak out of the front (headlight area) when hot? Trying to troubshoot if I...
By 'underoiled' do you mean undercoated? I did have undercoating done before the snow flew here in NE Ohio. I'd like to believe it could be a fluky thing like that. I'm still a little puzzled by WHEN it has happened. I've taken the truck on long road trips to Michigan and back with not one...
Thank you, kind sir. I will also add, that when I had my truck in for the first oil change, I also asked them to take a look at the 'skunk smell' that many of us have reported on these new RAM 1500's. It is very possible that a tech did unhook something inadvertently when investigating that...
Yeah - this is indeed upsetting. Especially with a truck that has just under 4k miles on it. The only thing I have NOT done yet is to tow something without using the tow/haul mode. I've always been pretty anal about using that when trailering.
Yes - those are the only obvious things I can think of to check. As you can see from the photos, it's pooling in places under the hood, and then escapes out of the area of the hood above (behind) the headlights and runs down.
If you are referring to me as a troll, trying to ask the forum for help like so many on here do, then I would suggest you hop on a *deleted* forum or something that would bring more joy to your life. Here are some pics of the oil that I missed. Again, the headlights were completely coated, and...
That's what I would have thought. Any ideas why this is? It just seems to happen when I use tow/haul, which I've done twice now. Once with a load of mulch in my trailer, and another with my boat. I thought the first time was a fluke, but it's definitely a pattern now.
I just noticed that EVERY time that I use tow/haul mode, I have to wipe down my front end (grill, headlights, bumper, and all the way down to the drips coming off my fog lights due to oil spewing out from under the hood. Silly question, but is this normal???
