Re: fod L8000 power loss while driving

cummins 6 cylinder i believe 210hp. took it for another ride this morning and i did not get it to happen till i almost got home. it seems to be doing it at the top of hill. like when the engine starts to bog. again i pushed in the clutch stepped on it and it worked. then it started to do it again and i down shifted and it took right off. its weird. the oil leak is coming from just to the rear of the drain plug there is a plate with four bolts it seems to be dripping from there(is this the main seal?). and its wet up front by the belts too. just my luck i am trying to start a business and im having bad luck from the get go. i know these trucks are notorious for dripping but I cant drip in peoples driveways. I plan on bringing it to a mechanic and having him change all the fluid and filters and fix the oil leak. probably will break the bank
