extreme g56 leak and a vibration
hey guys. yesterday i made a 12hr trip and the g56 is spraying oil everywhere from somewhere. my complete underside from mid tranny back is soaked tailgate dont have a dry spot or the driverside of my cab side or bed. i pulled it apart checked the orange shift boot. it is damp on the top of the tranny but not to the extent of what is under my truck. it is literally still dripping today. i cant find any rips or cracks in the boot at all. and for the vibration this started before the leak in 6th gear 80 mph the gear shft vibrates bad. im to the point im wanting to do a nv5600 swap. let me know what you guys may think or something to check thanks guys

update i pulled the rubber boot stretching on it found a small pin hole and small cut about an 1/8'' long surely this thing cant push out this much oil???

a very common prob on these trucks are leaking thru the drive shaft. there is a plug that comes loose. lots of guys replace seals thinking that is the prob but a plug is loose in the drive shaft. i fixed mine with a card board cut out and silicone shoved in the drive shaft with a broom handle.
