This is a 2021 ram with 12900 miles on it. I just noticed oil underneath the truck. I took a couple photos and saw.active drips underneath. Where do you think it originated and what is the potential fix.

I have no idea. I would probably be taking it to a dealer if it were mine.

looks similar to what I just experienced on my truck. Took it to the dealership and they said it was the Oil Temp Gauge. They replaced it all under warranty and no leaks so far.

A bad gauge made it leak like that? How many miles did you have on yours?

Right around 28,500. Yeah they said it was backing out. I've seen similar post on another form that I belong to and they said the same thing. Bad thing is I noticed mine the day I put a lift on my truck and ruined what should've been a great day

Bad news the leak came back. Now they are saying it might be the oil pan gasket. That's a big job. Anybody hear of this on a new ram with 13000 miles?

Thats what mine looks like ;)

Im just waiting for some nicer weather to drop my trans. I had my trans out last year when I put in my Circle D TQ and the rear main looked perfect so I didnt change it.

It ended up biting me in the ass, as I know better. Especially when I had the rear main seal on my workbench !!! :birgits_tiredcoffee

But Im always looking for a reason to drink beers with friends, So its all good .

I have same thing going on with my 2021 Ram Hemi with 8,700 miles. Small drips of oil. Still under warranty so I am taking it to dealer.

Thats a rear main seal leak. Not oil pan gasket.
Yep!!!

One of the reasons I traded in my 19' with 160,000Km's on it was that my rear main just started to leak ;)

Not a small or inexpensive job on a 4x4. Couple that with my next transmission service due, plus a small exhaust leak on the drivers side shorty header just starting to creep in, and other services coming due....

Trade in as I was out of factory warranty.
