Rear main leakage
#1
#2
its kind of a pain but its not the worst thing youve ever done. i just did mine yesterday. you gotta pull the transmission, and flexplate (or flywheel). and its behind there. the rear main kit from cummins is about 80 bucks or so. i just used the 60 dollar one from napa because i dont have a cummins store around me.

and you may discover that the little trapezoid shaped bracket (#11) may be cracked and that could be your leak as well.....
it can be done in an after noon if you know how i did mine in 3 1/2 hours and that's with beer brakes.....

What's the trapiziod shaped bracket (#11)? I couldn't see anything, oh course I don't know what I'm looking fer, but Is it on the drivers, or passengers side? I bet thats what it is...
