Re: I assume it's bad when there is oil on the rear of the coach Reply #25 – November 25, 2017, 08:11:13 pm You may have to go to Cummins with the engine numbers to get the correct copper washer. That drain plug should take a 1 1/4 inch socket to remove. Quote Selected

Re: I assume it's bad when there is oil on the rear of the coach Reply #27 – November 27, 2017, 07:02:49 am With some inspiration from craneman I removed the oil fill tube fixed the warp in the plate that attaches it to the block, made sure the plate was as smooth and flat as I could make it, made a new gasket, and put it all back together. Started her up and let her run for about 20 minutes. That part isn't leaking anymore. Not sure I understand how the oil moved backwards to the oil pan but it seems like craneman's assessment was correct as there were no further drips. I am still going to replace that crush washer before we move her again in two weeks.Not sure how that thing didn't leak on the trip from WI to TX, or on Brett's inspection ride, or my 40+ minute drive around town but it was dry when I left MOT and wet 3 hours down the road. Guess she just wanted me to know who was in charge. Quote Selected 1 Likes

I have experienced occasions of Fiona letting me know who is in charge.......for example only starting quickly and easily when leaving for a trip, and slide always working properly at home. I know fuel lines need replacing causing the start up issues, and finding loose connections for slide pin sensors, that were mislabeled. I'm sure "Fiona" will show me other ways to insure she gets attention time to time. david Quote Selected 1 Likes
