oil under truck
 

hey guys ... so i put my truck on the lift on friday and noticed that there is oil coating my bell house and like most parts around there like my front drive shaft , from my experience with my other vehicles ... this usually means that the rear main seal is going .. if not gone :( ... but was wondering if there is anything else that would be causing this oil dumpage .. i am asuming that its only when the oil system is presurized cuz its not dripping oil were i park ... dont know if that helps
thats all the info i know right now till i can get it back on the lift at work

look tween the power steering pump and the vac pump.......there is a seal tween there that is famous for leaking and when it goes ya loose motor oil and it covers everything

oil pans like to leak; rear main is very probable... i actually just replaced mine. the stocker was a full steel one with the rubber lip and that coating around the outside that is supposed to help it seal; well the whole seal actually started to rotate in the block instead of the crank rotating in the seal. the new one has a steel body; rubber seal, and rubber ridges taht actually hold it in the block... ran about 70 bucks after tax from cummins
