    3126 CAT leaking oil just in front of oil filter. Anyone have an engine diagram. I can't find one online for the passenger side.

    No diagram. But i’d be pretty confident its the oil cooler gasket leaking. Had to have mine redone a few times over the years. They will just leak over time. The coolers themselves on the earlier 3126B’s were known to crack and mix oil and coolant was common. We never had any issues with the E we had. There is really nothing else on that side to leak besides the turbo supply or return tubes. The water pump is right in front of oil cooler.
