Rear Main Seal Leaking?

I haven't had time to take my truck to the dealer to actually be checked yet but it appears I might have a rear main seal going out from what I can see. I pressure washed the whole underside of my truck the other day and there is fresh oil where the engine connects to the transmission.

My truck is a 2011 with a 2013 engine in it. The truck has 103,900 miles on it. The engine has almost 60,000 miles on it. I have the extended warranty on it which is good. All this truck has to do is last 2 more lousy months and I'll replace it.

Anyone else have or has heard of this problem?

Your the 1st 6.7 I've seen posted about a rear main leak.

There have been a few reported here over the years but only a few. That ESP is a good thing to have in your case. It's probably paid for itself already on your truck.

I'd say it's time to bring this to the attention of your dealership, Vince. Let us know what you find out; once you've had this diagnosed, I'll be able to research some ways to help.

I had a leak from the trans bellhousing, dealer changed the tq converter and flywheel. My was a trans fluid leak though, not engine oil.
