1988 Pete 377 w/Cummins Big Cam 4

Just kind of took a quick peak at the truck this morning(busy with cattle), but "observed" quite a few small pools of oil! Expected some leaks, but not as many as it looks like there could be. My plans are this afternoon, to jack the truck up a bit, so I can slide around on a creeper and inspect the leaks better. Don't have anywhere to have it steamed cleaned, but have quite a few cans of engine degreaser and a power washer, I can clean it up a bit, then see if I can find out where the leaks are developing. I might take my camera with me after lunch, and take some pictures of the oil leaks, locations, etc, and somebody may be able to tell me where they could be starting.
thanks,
Jim

 

I was looking at the tag on the motor, but couldnt hardly read all the information. Can someone decipher what I am writing and tell me what the Engine Serial # is?

Engine 11451066 So 13793 ECS STC/AFC/ASF

model NTC 400 Ref 193B1-362-418

400 1800RPM Engine CID
2-88 Cerf 855 093J 1185
Ident


I tried to copy the above straight off the tag.

want to see some oil "problems" I found on this truck,,there are plenty to look at....

 

I cleaned the engine up with 3 1/2 cans of engine degreaser this afternoon, then used my power washer to clean the crap off. I should have taken a picture of me, as I was as dirty as the stuff I washed off! (lol). After cleaning it up, it looks like I could alleviate quite a bit of the oil mess if I would put on a new pan gasket, as it is leaking pretty good along the drivers side and around the rear. Silicone must have been cheap as that is what they have used everywhere on this motor. In the first two photos (2253 & 2254), that must be the power steering pump? I noticed some red fluid dripping, along with some oil from somewhere? In the 2257 pic where the engine ID tab is located, I wonder why someone gooped so much silicone in that particular place? In the 2258 pic, behind the damper, is that normally a place that leaks? The last two photos were from underneath on the bottom of the tranny. It is hard to tell if the oil back there was blown back there from the pan gasket leaking or somewhere else?
