you are exactly right when mine was leaking I wiped it off and didnt pull over the holidays no leak thought it was not going to be a problem then started pulling again and leak came back, rear seal replaced 5k ago still no leak, just to show the techs. ability when went to pick up truck it had a terrible noise and vibration at the floor board, went back, tech. put transfercase skid plate on upside down causing bad noise as it was right against the transfer case. and you wonder why the problems dont get solved.

Go to this thread, read completely…. Follow, on page 3..MLF250’s format, it is good…and easy! and post. Important update to instructions on page 6.
Most important part of this data...also, there “is” owners out there that have had no problems. To be fare to my methodology… I need the same from the “no problem” owners.. i.e. mileage (mileage is the odometer reading)
important a “no problem” statement if you have had none.
ODOMETER reading at time of problem is critical.
In addition, please read more instructions, bottom of first page, posted by Tim L
The simpler the writing (posting) of “problem/odometer” reading………….the easier it will be to collate.
Do not need many words, NO stories.
I must reduce all the date into a usable format; extra words will take more time to complete.

I implore all 6.0 owners to please take the time
Thanks

The reason I ask is that I have not seen a 6.0 that didn't leak at the rear main seal.

I have a June 03 build and while there was that "hanging drip" on the bell housing that I noticed after running about 500 miles, I wiped it off and have been checking ever since. That was back in July and now I have 21000 miles on the truck without ANY LEAKS. The BH has been absolutely dry as a bone ever since. Not even dirt is accumilating in the area (which is an easy way to spot a very small leak). So in my case I do believe it was excess lube as the engine does not leak one drop and that "hanging drip" was the only one ever seen.
