My 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD 4.0L V6 165,700 miles leaking oil on the ground. I put it up on ramps and it appears to be leaking out both sides of of the pump mating surfaces. I did not see any youtube videos for replacement of the oil pump gasket. I have it in the garage ready to do it myself. Any pointers? The service manual i downloaded was for pacifica 3.5L but I have a 4.0L. Is there a manual for the 4.0L available? Dealer said labor is about 7 - 7.5 hours. Should I live it to the pros?

 

Excuse me. Leave it to the pros?

Hello,


I am not familiar with 4.0 -- only 3.5 but I understand that the engines are substantially similar...

I am not sure how you can see oil pump seal surfaces with the timing cover on...

On 3.5 that would be a very rare failure -- do you have oil coming from under crankshaft pulley?
