Leaking Tranny?

[avip]

I have an 03 I believe with a manual tranny. Just noticed when doing an oil change the back of the transmission has a leak on the transmission itself. It is dropping a good amount of gear oil. Really new to Rams and tranny problems in general If any one could point me in the right direction it would be amazing!

It's probably the output shaft seal. Just drop the drive shaft and install a new seal. But without pics, this is just a guess.

Pictures would be good. I agree as stated probably a seal. Could also be a bad rear bushing and seal. A couple ways to fix it. Jack it up and while in neutral shake the front yoke, if there is a lot of movement then it indicates a bad bushing along with the seal. If it is relatively tight then just change the seal. Just changing the seal is easy. But the bushing can be a bit more of a job and requires pulling the tail housing. If you have the tools you can then knock out the bushing and install a new one or take the removed tail housing to a transmission shop and have them install the bushing and seal and save some money. Or just have a shop do the work and pay the bill which IMO is no fun at all.
