I asked this question awhile back but never got an answer, so Im throwing it out again. I was messing with truck awhile back and noticed freaking oil everywhere under truck mind went racing but stayed calm and sat down to figure out where it was coming from all signs were coming from fender area! Could not for the life of me figure that out until i looked real close and found small plastic hose squirting out oil every time truck was cranked over. (not running at time) Followed the line back towards the just rear of the oil filter but could not figure out what the crap its supposed to go to... I looked through manual and search option here but no luck.. I curently just have it pumping into the valve cover for now..

Ideas?

Does it come off a tee with the idiot light sender? Sounds like the line to an after market mechanical gauge.

what year is your truck?

unless you have a remote mounted oil filter, it's going to be a pressure indicator line. if you do have a tee at the block, you can do one of two things.

take out the tee block, and just reinstall the oil pressure idiot light indicator,

OR

get the line replaced/spliced into the tee fitting.

if you can, get us some pictures so we can help you a little better.

It could be your PVC line. Is it a rubber line? My '79 has the line coming from the oil pan up to the top....my '81 has it capped off and it looke like it was factory. I can take pics of mine of you need but it would be easier if you could post a pic so we all know exactly what you arew talking about?
