Oil leaking after jump

Condensation from your air conditioner

Leave truck alone until the morning. Look for actual 'oil spots' on the ground. Then look directly above each spot to see the source of the leak...

 

Not enough oil is coming out to drip. Seems to have slowed. Or possibly never even started. When I checked 5 minutes after the jump, the underside was already pretty much coated. I am thinking it was coincidental. I’m hoping so. Will update.

 

Before I opened this thread I assumed OP meant a jump-start. I couldn't figure out how a jump-start would cause an oil leak. This is way better than I imagined.

 

Certainly entertaining!

 

Yes, but we don’t even know if it was oil!!! Did he just hit an oily puddle? Did the lube tech make a mess? Was there a leak and it magically stopped? So many questions.

 

If the fluid has no smell and it evaporates I’d say it’s probably windshield washer fluid .

 

I meant all the responses to this thread. Of course it was all prompted by his lack of info!

 

Dude

Just go through the same jump IN Reverse and whatever happened will reversed back to normal!

 

It’s more lack of getting his hand dirty…imo
If my truck is leaking, first thing I do is to touch the fluid and smell it to determine what fluid is it. Then ask the question.
There are like 6-7 fluids in the engine compartment.

 

I know, same reason I was following and responded. Wish OP the best but curious as well.

 

yeah, like where is the video of the jump....Lol most absurd thread i have read in a while.

 

Doesn't hold a candle to the mother of all absurdity threads, bar none !

Buyers Remorse. Read before you buy a Tundra | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

 

Yeah humorous read, obviously didn't do his homework.

 

Ok guys. Answering all of the questions. It was yellow. Looked like clean engine oil. After my degrease and clean I have not seen anymore leaking.

 

Probably because it all leaked out.

 

Dipstick reads full

 

My bet is on whoever changed the oil made a mess on top of the skid plate.

 

I don’t have a skid plate

 

smart move when jumping your truck

wouldn’t want that skid plate to get damaged.

 

I regret not following this thread from the beginning.

 

I remember L'ingMAO when I saw this on the news.

 

Took my yota to a Toyota dealership for my oil change. It was by far the messiest oil change ever done on my truck (not to mention the f***ing oil marks on my bumper and door from their f***ing hands on my white Yota). Oil was everywhere underneath. After I cleaned it up it had a little drip left And that was it and it stopped.

Hope you figured it out and went away. Maybe they didn’t put the new o-ring in and it’s slowly dripping.

but still… how high you’d get???? Please answer

 

I'd say he must have been pretty high when he jumped it. Oh, you mean how high off the ground.

 

Real high

 

Damn… he roped us in… guess we should’ve clarified from the beginning the context of “high”

 

Doubt it will beat this.

Did you ever check your coolant? Fluid looks pinkish.

 

That's some dukes of hazard level stuff there.
