2020 Ram 1500 5.7, 12K
First discovered this oil leak around 7K. Dealer acknowledged the issue and replaced the oil filter adapter/cooler assembly. I cleaned the area very well after the repair, but the oil leak has returned.
I am not familiar with these engines. Valve cover gasket on that bank is bone dry. Cylinder head looks dry as well. Where else could it be leaking from?
Edit: upon further inspection there appears to be oil residue on a sensor that screws into the block. Oil temperature sensor?
