OIL LEAK??
I think my rear main seal is out on my 06?? does warranty cover this??
I dont see oil in the valley or turbo drain tube no loss of power and its all over the underneath of my truck... What could this be most likely rearmain is this comon??:scare2: |
The best thing that I can suggest is to clean the entire bottom of the motor, then watch for the leak. Sounds primative, but it works. I've spewed fluid out of the trans cooler connections before that went everywhere. Because the warranty covers "turbo to oil pan" I'd say it's covered.

ya i defenetly know its oil just seein if the rear main is bad do they pull the tranny to replace or do they have to pull engine??

Show me a 6.0 that isn't soaked in oil there....
It's known as the "wet bellhousing" and I've never seen a 6.0 in person that wasn't wet with oil there. It should be covered under warranty but from what I understand about the oil leak is that the tech will put a clean piece of paper or something under the truck and it has to drip x amount of times in a specified interval, if it doesn't, it's not considered a leak, and most are not. |
I agree about all 6.0s leak i personaly have owned 5 of them they all leak but theres a puddle of oil under my truck everywhere i stop and my tranny is SOAKED in oil im pretty sure its the bed plate seal does anyone know what causes this ??

I've heard of that, but don't know what causes it. If you are definitely getting a puddle then I would get it fixed. I would clean it up really really well, and then see if you can definitely pinpoint where it's coming from. It can come out of so many places back there it's hard to really determine where. Are you still under warranty? You should be if you have the 06 in your info, and not over the 100k... I'd bring it in.:pca1:

Im At a 100100 miles right now but I have the extended 200000 mile warranty so i should be covered
