While correcting my low oil pressure problem, I decided to take off the oil sump in order to inspect and clean the oil pick up, as one of the possible causes is a partially blocked system. Good news it was nice and clear.
While I was cleaning the sump gasket surface on the bottom of the block while under the truck I noticed coolant leaking from the bottom of the cylinder (rear cylinder next to starter).
It was tough to photograph, but it was clearly not oil and it was coolant. It had a green color to it, especially when it leaked on to the tarp on the ground.
Personally, I think this means I might have a liner / block issue instead of a head gasket issue. For it to be a head gasket issue, this would mean water would have to get past the piston rings.
What do the guru's think? I'm only a begginer shade tree mechanic that's learning the ropes.
