I just noticed for some oil leaking off my transmission right near the oil pan. Just had an oil change yesterday and noticed the drip today. Checked the drain plug and it’s tight. Anybody else have any issues like this?

There is a TSB on the transmission oil pan. I took mine in and it was fixed for free. Talk to your dealer. There was a few bolts that would come loose.

It's very possibly could be from where the filter was changed. It drips down on the tie rods and then will blow back over the rest of the parts under the truck. It's hard to change the filter in these trucks without it dripping everywhere.

I just had the dealer replace my trans pan and gasket after it leaked all over the garage floor. Never saw a tsb on it. I had just changed the motor oil so thought filter right away, but once underneath it was clearly transmission pan. Clean up the oil and watch to see where it's dripping idling after checking fluid levels. Mine leaked a lot more in gear with my foot on the brake.
