This isn't normal, right?
As the title states, this isn't normal, right?
It's at the front of the engine, on the bottom, where the serp belt goes. I don't know what "part" it is, so if anyone knows, can you clue me in?
It looks like a leak, and I want it diagnosed, so if you guys could help, that'd be awesome. The deductible on my warranty is $100, so if i can fix it, I will.
Sorry for the big pics, I wanted it to come out clear.

Looks like the oil pan gasket is starting to go. You could try tightening the bolts up a bit until you get it changed. Looks pretty easy to swap out.

yeh, that gasket alone is about 40bux? ( *i think* )
then to replace it, u can either drop ur frount axle as much as possible or lift the engine... unless u have the tools to do it, just take it to the dealer if its still under waranty
and that pulley right there is called ur Harmonic Balancer

Cool guys, thanks, I'll tighten the bolts for now and take it to the stealership later. I appreciate your helpful knowledge sharing!

Be sure not to overtighten, as it may make it worse by pushing the gasket out. I've seen it happen. Only about a 2 hour job to replace it if needed. I just did my rear main, new oil pump while I was in there, and resealed oil pan. Sure was nice working on a lifted rig, plenty of room to work.
