Transfer Case Leak Deja Vu
Saw a few drops of oil on the ground so crawled under and found the rear output shaft of the xfer case was leaking. Gear oil was slung in a line across the frame and underside of the body from the spinning shaft. The frame and rear axle were covered in dark spots from the flying oil. Dealer replaced the seal. I was reminded of my last F250. It was an 04 and the rear main started leaking a few weeks after I got the truck. The seal was replaced three times under warranty but it never stopped leaking for the 14 years I owned it. Hoping this new seal on my 18 F250 stops this leak and I don’t have another 14 years of oil on the driveway. Maybe I’m just cursed when it comes to seals!

Same here for me. Has been back to dealer twice but since they don't technically see a drip they won't fix it, even though there is obvious sign of the fluid getting slung on the underside of the truck. Trying a different dealer and see if they will actually do something.

Even though mine was pretty obvious, the paperwork says they still added dye to isolate the source of the leak. Your dealer could do the same thing to see if anything pops under the UV. Surely that would prove that there is indeed a leak!
