Oil Leak
On a 95 f150 4X4 with an automatic, I have a slight drip from between the engine and the transmission every time I park the truck. It is only a few drops of engine oil, but enough to make a mess of the driveway. I suspect the rear main seal. Any ideas or does anyone know how hard that is to change? Thanks in advance for the help.

Take a look at the the oil pan gasket--especially the gasket on the sides of the pan about 6 inches forward of the flywheel cover. I bet that you will see that the neopreme gasket has been squeezed out of the gasket area of the engine block and the pan gasket area.
If that is the case--loosen the pan bolts and let the oil pan drop about a half inch and then push the gasket back between the engine block and the pan gasket surface and then torque all of the pan bolts back.
