New to the Ram Community .

I have a small oil leak on the bell housing. I have an extended warranty a took it to my local dealer . They diagnosed and replaced the oil pan gasket, although I expressed my concerns about the rear main seal as I’ve seen many others have this issue with the same exact visual I’ve shared . Today is the 1st day that I’ve had the truck back and I inspected under the truck this evening and the leak is present again. I cleaned up and will check in the am. I’m definitely taking it back for a rediagnosis , any other potential causes outside of the rear main seal?

Thanks

I am anxious for your update. I too have a leak but can’t find the source. I put dye in the engine oil trying to determine if the leak is from the engine or transmission. It is raining heavily here so I drove only a couple miles and put the truck on the lift and checked the underside with a UV light. Nothing conclusive yet, maybe I need to check again after more miles.
