I took my rig into the RV service center to give it some pampering. one of the things I wanted fixed was an oil leak. they said they normally don't do engine repairs just oil changes and things like that. However they would report to me where the oil was comeing from. the oil pump housing is the source of the leak. can anyone tell me where on the engine this is located? I think I can fix it my self. Also does anyone no where in the San Jose CA. area is a good place to take these rigs for engine repairs. Thanks and have a great day. FREE BIRD.

If you have a 440, the oil pump is on the front left side of the engine, behind the power steering pump sort of.  When you remove the oil pump, you'll find an o-ring inside which is the seal you need to replace.  Go to a Dodge dealer for a kit.  The kit I bought also had a gasket for the housing but when I tried to use it, the pump would not work right.  The o-ring seems to be the only thing that keeps the pump from leaking.  When you replace the pump, pack the rotor with grease or you will loose the prime and the oil pressure will not come up.  The bolts holding the oil pump on are not all the same size so keep track of them.
