SO so far it was the oil filter causing the leak.....stupid fram, now as for the hissing, all signs point to it being the intake manifold gasket.......drives great but obviously codes are thrown and it'll idle wonky once in awhile...how long can i go like this?...im able to fix it myself but its winnipeg, not summer yet :P

[Gussie2000]

The intake gasket can be done by your self,but isuzu issued a technical bulletin sometime ago about replacing it and how much tight the bolts has to be once the gasket is replaced.

There's a thread about this issue.

There was an episode of M*A*S*H once where Hawkeye temporarily loses his sight. Standing in the operating room, he was talking another surgeon through a delicate operation; he couldn't DO the operation himself because he was, well, blind. When the operation was nearly complete, Hawkeye (just struck me, the poetry of his name, at least as it relates to the episode) says to the surgeon that he might want to double check the sutures because he's "getting a whiff of bowel." Sure enough, the attending missed a spot. Even though I was just a kid, that feeling of awe and respect for true "master," even if just a TV character, has stuck with me all these years since.

Last year, when I had my engine replaced, I was admiring it with the mechanics at the shop. With the motor running, and the air box gulping, the head wrench walks over to have a look-see. He leans over the engine bay, does a double take and says knowingly in his Turkish accent "I hyear vahcyoom heesing noise," and proceeds to reach over the engine shroud and find this tiny little hose disconnected from its flange. He plugs it in, smiles at me and says "now yhew can go."

In that moment, I was that kid again.

i said i could do it by myself.....in the previous post....what im asking is how long can i run the vehicross with it like this with the hissing? will it damage anything? or just lose power...

If there is a vac leak somewhere, your motor could be ingesting any type of airborne contaminants (grit, road salt, moisture, or even the dreaded acid rain, etc), which are known as engine "unfriendlies".

Also, keep a CLOSE eye on the dipstick...
