im not going in for oily boots, i got oil seepage coming down the back of the engine around the bell housing, oil never seems to drop on the driveway, and my truck sits there all week, i was just wondering if they happen to see the ccv mod, that they might say my warrenty is none

Any engine modification could be an "excuse" for a dealer to deny warranty. As far as the CCV mod and engine seal leakage goes, an improper CCV mod installation that does not allow enough "free movement" of gases to the atmosphere or a negative pressure to the CCV will actually cause seals to begin seeping oil. This would be a valid reason for a dealer to deny warranty.
Your problem could be a seepage from a number of sources other than engine seals or possible a fuel leak that when mixed with the gunk on the engine, could appear as an oil leak. Only a very honest and reputable (rare and dying bread) dealer would point out the difference.

I can see it now, "I don't know what happened to it? I was just dirving it like any normal person would (omitted: while pulling a sled in a towing contest and trying to win!!!!)?
