'04 v10

Hi guys,

I'm looking at buying a used '04 F250 with the v10. It has 113k on it which really doesn't concern me. It was actively leaking oil from, I believe, was the rear main seal. What have you all seen in terms of oil leaks on these. I've run many gassers that had oil leaks and had no problems with them, just made sure I kept an eye on the levels.

Thanks!

Make sure it's the rear main, and NOT the back of one of the heads.
