Another Leak

This one I do not like. I have seen 1 drip on ground from back side of oil pan - between pan and transmission. It is definitley oil. Is it the rear main seal? If so what kind of repair is it or how long? We leave on a trip 2 weeks from today - Ugggh. I see a trade in the future.

Mine was replaced about a year ago. Like frdfan said, bring it in the am, pick it up in the pm. No big deal....

If it is the rear main, it is an easy fix. My bet is they will want to put some dye in it and see.

Would it be covered by 5yr/100? If not maybe my extended warranty will cover it. That thing has about paid for itself.
