Tell me what you guys think about this. Looks to me like the rear main seal is leaking. I happened to look under the truck and saw a drop of oil on the bottom of the trans. There’s also some on a wire harness and the starter is wet where it bolts to the block. I’m not thinking oil pan simply because the bolts aren’t and the bottom of the oil pan isn’t wet. Let me know what you guys think...

So it's been damp in that area off and on for about 5 years now. I brought it into the dealer 3 times while it was under warranty and was told all 3 times that it's a "seep not a leak". Well now at 58k it's a leak. I'm assuming it's the rear main seal but it could be something else too. I was really hoping it was the crankshaft position sensor leaking but that was dry....

I've got about 2000 miles on the Bils and since I replaced the sway bar end links that noise is gone...

It’s part of the power train so you should have 5 years/60,000 miles on that. Depending on your time line you might still have warranty on that.

Without seeing it in person I do believe it is your rear main seal.

What I would do first off is clean the **** out of that area and try and degrease it the absolute best you can and see how fast that leak is.

I know some people will just ride it out and deal with it but honestly I would get that fixed if it was my truck.

This sucks man. You should stop over so we can have a beer and talk about it[emoji41]

I think it is rare to have a rear main just start leaking without some rough ride or work. Last rear main I had leak the tranny was always soaked. it leaked for 8 years, didnt bother me much.
