Lol what, do you mean the Jeep? It runs every day about 100 miles. dunno how, but i'm doing everything step by step to keep it running. The oil leak was unbelievable though.

The main caps look super dry, not as if its been sitting for a couple days. Almost looks like some rust in there too. Do you keep up on oil changes? May be time to switch to diesel oil to take advantage of the detergents in it.

Yeah I noticed that. What kind of oils would help? I change the oil by the book although I always topped it off once a week. each one of the bearing caps were covered in oil though. the rod caps looked really dry.

Dang, was that pan on there with RTV? Brake clean is acceptable to clean the crankcase, you'll probably need it on the oil pan gasket surface anyway. You just don't want it on the cylinders or it will wash away the oil and they can begin to rust.
The only motor oil that contains a comparable level of Calcium and Magnesium to Rotella T6 is Amsoil Signature Series. High levels of those detergents will keep your motor clean. Both of those oils have excellent Anti-Wear Additive levels as well. Maybe once the pan is back on, a couple of short term oil changes will clean her right up. Are you doing the Rear Main while you're in there?

The old gasket was some disgusting mix of a WHOLE tube of RTV and some black one piece gasket. I'm doing the rear main. To be honest it's going to get basic stp 10w-40 because that's what I have handy at the moment. I'll have to spend the day scraping off the dirt and oil buildup all over the transmission and axle and literally everything else. The pan is clean and painted now.

Do I need to RTV around the oil pump where it bolts to the block?

No RTV, just a plain old gasket. You have a gasket for the pump right? The oil pump bolts get blue loctite.

oof I don't.

Just noticed this, but does it look like the axle tube has slid out of the diff housing a little?

Spend the money on the Fel Pro Permadry gasket. Worth every penny.

Good eye

It looks as though it may have... and it looks like the point where they meet may be sagging a little...???

Like the other guy said, Rotella T6 would work good for cleaning the junk out over the next couple oil changes.

Oooofff. Ya, thats not good. Good catch.

X1000 to this.

Huh? There was a zip tie there and the metal was bare underneath

That explains it!!

I got everything back together but unfortunately it’s leaking from between the oil pan right where the oil pump sits on the inside.

You sure its leaking from the pan? You have a lot going on right above that point. Oil psi sensor, oil filter housing adapter and distributor gasket all come to mind and are all likely culprits.
