Went to Hooks to make my second recovery attempt on the 818, used all the good info given over the last attempt, while following the fuel line I found a fuel shutoff just before the primary fuel filter housing, opened it and checked the fuel shutoff on the IP and she started right up, rough but running, let it run for about twenty min. signed the GL form and headed for the gate. Got to the gate and the guard waved be down telling me I am losing a lot of oil!!!!!!! Sure enough I stop the truck about 40 feet past the gate and by the time I get around to the passenger side there is about a paint of black oil splashed around on the ground and the passenger side fender well. Pop the top and oil is flowing out of the radiator overflow tank! The engine sounded fine and was running smooth. Is this a head gasket problem, how expensive to fix, can I do it myself? I am filling out a complaint form to GL as soon as I finish this post. Yes, I did inspect the truck prior to bidding, it is in great shape showing less than 6500 miles since rebuild! Any speculation is appreciated, it is a four hour drive to Hooks!
