Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

The oil pan has a silver dollar sized rust-through forming at the bottom, rear, right corner and is now letting oil seep through. I discovered this when I noticed a small puddle of oil under the truck and inspected it. Luckily, I caught this before it caused a major problem. Had I not noticed this defect and it failed while driving, it could have caused a fire by allowing oil to blow on to the exhaust system. Alternatively, it also could have allowed 12 quarts of oil to leak on to the highway, destroyed my turbo and/or engine, or caused loss of control when the engine seized up. Dodge informs me that the repair would cost in excess of $1,400. 00. I don't believe that the oil pan should rust through like this and have never experienced such a condition in any other vehicle that I have owned.

We have a 1996 Dodge truck ram p/u 2500 2door e with 78,155 miles. The sleeve threading for the oil plug to screw into under the oil pan broke during a Chrysler mileage driven maintenance schedule for my ram pickup cummins diesel. There have been 17 oil changes done up to now. The dealership said the breakage was due to wear and tear and was not covered under warranty or maintenance agreement. The dealership gave me 2 options for repair: 1. Upgrade to the new design oil tank with plug and sleeve threading that eliminated this problem. The old and new oil tank parts are not interchangeable. 2. Try to use silicone to seal the oil leak. I needed my truck working as it was before the breakage so I paid $923. 47 for the upgraded new oil pan design. Is this normal for the threads to break after 17 oil changes? we would appreciate any help in determing if this a legitimate cost that we must pay or if the manufacturere is responsible for part of the cost. Also, if you know of other agencies that may be able to help us, we would appreciate information about them.

While pulling out of the driveway, there was no power steering and no brakes. After the vehicle was towed to the dealer, no defects were found, however , the vehicle was suspected to have a valve leaked. The consumer later saw oil on the ground, got into the vehicle and the same thing occurred again. He let the vehicle run for a few minutes and the power and brakes came back.
