Question another little problem

Changed my cam positioner sensor yesterday thanks to some of y'all diagnosing my problem, truck is running perfect once again. While I had it on the rack I noticed that my rear main is leaking. It's not drastic but still something that I need to fix in the near future. The 7.3 has 212,000 on it and has given me almost no problems since I bought it with 150,000 on it. I have only had to change the CPS and the 2 pc flywheel and of course regular filter changes. What else do y'all think I should check/replace when I change the rear main seal?

Well tranny fluid is a no brainer. I dont know what you have or havent done in 200K, but if you're going to be up, in there, and dirty, I'd check diff fluids, use the opportunity to get a good look at the up pipes, and if they've never been done, at least check axle seals. Your answers could go anywhere with that much open room. How much you want to spend?

I find things to "tweak" without looking. It gets monumentally worse when I get my head in there staring at things.

I'll try to keep the spending kinda low. I'm looking for a later model right now but not planning on getting rid of my 95. I don't want to sink a bunch of money in my truck and not have the down payment when I find my next truck. I might find it next week or next year. Up pipes? I hate to sound stupid but I am. Is that the turbo you're talking about?
