Didn't your truck do this?

yeah, you know what it was from? idiots who used orange permatex as a gasket on the oil pan. The permatex got ate away, and it leaked bad, plus all the excess that spilled over into the pan had gotten sucked up against the pickup. Scuffy said it looked like a mini orange basketball! haha

truck has 204000 un touched miles its not mine it belongs to a friend and it had not had an oil change in 11000 miles but i changed it first then swaped sensors with the one from my truck i looked and no signs of any permatex arround pan
