Scott, it always amazes me of your discoveries of poor or shoddy repairs the previous "techs" have left you. I presume these were from dealer service groups. That kind of workmanship (lack of) plaques our industry still. Yet, the owner of a coach has no choice but to assume the work is of the highest standards and correctly done by a trained competent technician. Your videos of your findings prove quite the opposite. No wonder why you have a loyal following of customers that will literally travel half the country for repairs and maintenence work. Love your videos and I like your business model. It's different and it works. Happy Memorial Weekend!
i cant imagine how good these customers feel arriving here knowing that they are dealing with a man they can trust. its a rare feeling in todays world. bless you scott!
Like the field of dreams, build it and they will come. You've really done something there, Scott. The ONLY place to bring your uber expensive RV coach.
When I was a motorcycle mechanic we used to clean the engine and athletes foot spray on the engine in the leak area, it would leave a nice white dry film on the engine, and would make any oil leak pop out at you. This was especially helpful when there were several components coming together on the cases. It acts like developer for dye penetrate crack inspection and it's cheap
You would think the simplest task of cleaning an engine COMPLETLY, would be a "nothing-burger." Wrong again. My money is on the business had no clue about the "rear-access." But they were very PROFESSIONAL and took the money for a Half-A$$ complete job, and ran. Shaking my head and rolling my eye's in discuss. Thank you Scott for sharing these video's. Knowledge is awesomeness.
Oil pressure gauge is a common problem on older vehicles. The plastic they use shrinks over time and starts to seep out of the sending unit. That was my first thought after you replaced the valve cover gasket.
G'day Scott, Sometimes an oil leaks can really test your skills in finding it. But it looks like the Bus Grease Monkey was victorious. Q. How is your bus going. You were doing a renovation to the interior. So thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Yes,detroit diesel got bad rap because most people skip.on repair.this owner lucky made your shop the dye is very good thing look after.thanks again video😊
That is one of the most attractive coaches I have seen. The combo of chrome and blue is reminiscent of the Air Force Ones, I have always liked the light blue/dark blue/chrome and white scheme. Just gorgeous. Now get all that crap off the rear!!! .
I’m in hvac poor and shutty repairs has become a plague in the repair service industry of all sorts. Mainly from companies not paying their mechanics enough to care anymore
You should invest in an evap system smoke machine .Presurise the oil crank and look for smoke ,it works rear good on vaccum and exhaust system and air leaks
I worked at a Detroit 2 stroke rebuilder for many years , and our theory was when the engines came in for rebuilds if they weren't leaking oil they probably didn't have any oil .........
Is it possible the transmission or rear end is overheating at speed and spewing oil vapor out of the vents? I had that issue with an old 1995 Jeep Cherokee when I was 16, until I changed the transmission oil a few times. I remember the fiberglass tailgate being covered in an oily residue after taking it out on the highway one hot summer day, the first summer that I owned it.
in life.... if you don't do it yourself it probably was done improperly. applies to any service whether house or car etc. I bought a new construction condo with missing caps on vent pipes in sealed walls. mice crawling up into the house. can't make this stuff up

Well said.
People like this are treasures. Not a lot of people would have the fortitude to follow through to make things right.
Plagues, like Bubonic. Plaques like on teeth.

A good mechanic is worth their money. Great video.

There's a comfort with having you look at the bus system. I am already thinking about scheduling another visit myself.
This is the best channel to learn about bus mechanics and how it should be done. Bus Grease Monkey 101.
Scott the detective. Another case solved. Great work and thanks for the video.
That guy doing all the welding needs a major plug here ;0)
Well done... finding the leak was easy...just clean the back end of the motor..!
Carry on..

Makes me wish I had a coach again. Great job as usual.

Thanx for the video's..
Good deal.

Glad to see you cranking em out. Good to be loaded with work in these times!
Above and beyond,Good Job,Mr.Scott (I thought you had a Mill and Lathe)just asking
That is one of the most attractive coaches I have seen. The combo of chrome and blue is reminiscent of the Air Force Ones, I have always liked the light blue/dark blue/chrome and white scheme. Just gorgeous. Now get all that crap off the rear!!! .
It’s done like a big amazon delivery van ;)

Very nice bus
Darn good meticulous hard correct work guys ...
You need to wire of the traffic lights up and down the hill. Gettin' kinda congested.

Good job Detective Scott !
I worked at a Detroit 2 stroke rebuilder for many years , and our theory was when the engines came in for rebuilds if they weren't leaking oil they probably didn't have any oil .........
Every motor coach powered by a Detroit Diesel ever had oil spots on the back. That's just a fact of life.
Man you guys are the cats ass, i really love watching you guys work. You are the best, keep up the great work.
That oil leak has been there a long,long time........its a wonder it was not so much worse!
30 gallons of Brakeclean later and the back of the engine is clean!
No brake clean
Excellent
Great video as always
well, that's a weird place for a bolt or plug to be missing from. 🤔
That was my thought as well. Is a tricky spot to see a missing bolt 🔩 😮😮😮😊
Quite the illusive missing bolt 🧐
The ole “leaner” coming in MC9
Good job
A Smoke Machine for Evap Emission Testing will find those oil leaks very fast.
keep the clips coming
Shiny .

Are fans able to stop by and say, “hello”?
See if the exhaust is spewing oil
Actually, it would have been when he was going downhill or braking.
Power steering fluid leak?
but what if my radiator gets wet :~)
That looks like a 6v92? Title says 8V92...
4+4=8
@@BusGreaseMonkey At 04:43 I counted 3. I missed the 'this is another engine' just before that...
Maybe its trans fluid leak
