Noticed increased oil consumption on a recent trip with my '05 2WD 5.7 2500....now realize it looks like rear main seal leaking....Any magic fixes...oil additives etc ? Thanks

Nope. None that actually work in my experience. Find a good mechanic and have the seal done is really the only "real" way to deal with it.

Magically pull the trans off the back of the engine, magically remove the old one, magically install the new one and magically reinstall everything. ****! PFM. :33:

Edit: "po-of" is bad??
