Oil Leaks On Top of Cat 3208

[wbostow]

Unless it was changed from earlier days, you probably have a hand diesel pump.
In an emergency, you unscrew a knob and then pull out and pump, a bit like a
legacy Coleman white-gas camp stove. When you open the engine
compartment from the inside, this will be on top and only be about 12 inches
from the latch near your knee.

I know you said it is not fuel, but diesel will work up any accumulated dietrus.
I know a guy who thought he had a transmission leak because he saw red.

A trick I have for that would be to wrap the pump in white guaze or even just
cloth strips, then check for dampness and diesel odor. --WB

chasing them down. I found small pools of oil in the intake manifold area and
figured the hose supplying the compressor with engine oil was the source. I've
replaced the hose with a new one, cleaned up the top of the engine. After
running the engine, I found more oil accumulation. Suspicious that I may have
an engine lube leak at the base of turbo. Maybe a bad gasket. Anybody had this
problem on a 3208? Ideas for fix? This is definitely engine oil and not diesel
fuel.
