Possible oil leak
Hi Everyone:
Just changed my 6 litre oil at 72000kms and noticed some oil on the bell housing (standard trans).Not alot of oil, just damp.
I tightened oil pan bolts. Is this rear main seal time already? Is this common?
My driving is all highway, truck is one year old.
Thanks for now
Kerry

The oil could be coming from one of MANY places. You need to run it by the dealer and let them look at it. More than likely, they will add some dye to your oil, have you put a some miles on it with the dye, then have you bring it back in so they can locate it with a lamp.

My oil leak turned out to be a weeping return hose from the intercooler that was putting a little oil up on top of the engine that found it's way down the back and to the bell housing. If that's not it then I agree...take it to the dealer and have them dye test it.
