Exclamation Uh-oh...?

I was under my truck switching it from BADP exhaust to SMARTY exhaust wiring... And I noticed that my transmission was somewhat oil coated. It never has leaked enough to make it to the driveway, but it is coated in oil.... Any ideas?

I had a clutch installed. Dont know if they had to mess with the transmission when they did it.

I did notice some silicon on an access door or something to the transmission. Doubt they use that at the factory.

Just a thought, but you might look up under the front of your engine and see if the front crank seal is leaking. I had to have mine replaced about 6 months ago. Noticed it was leaking when I was changing my oil.

I looked all under the truck, and the oil is ONLY coming from somewhere near the top of the transmission.
