Alrighty guys, well I thought I had finally fixed my truck - but apparently not! I am leaking oil from behind the oil filter. I thought the problem was initially from some idiot at Jiffy Lube who cranked the filter on. I pulled the old oil filter adapter out, and the threads were stretched. I replaced the oil filter adapter, but this hasn't helped any with my truck leaking oil. Its not a solid or steady drip, but here and there and winds up draining out the truck over the course of under 3,000 miles.

Is there anything else that anyone could know of being an issue, or would I need to completely replace the oil pump? Thanks in advance for any help :thumbsup:
