Oil Leak!!! Rear Main?

[CWeidenkeller]

Lots of oil around the back of the motor. A drop hanging out on each pan bolt, and a large puddle of oil under the truck. Doesn't appear to be dripping out of the inspection plate at the bottom of the bell housing. Is the part that the bell housing bolts to part of the block or an adapter plate? BTW, just got the oil changed yesterday, and the leak got worse afterward.



Any help would be most appreciated... ...

On my truck the rear main leaked as well. Changed it out with the clutch. It leaks at the very back of the pan, but forward of the bellhousing. Easy fix once you have everything apart.

I took a 800 mi trip last week just after replacing the head gasket

was towing & was playing w/a big rig punched got at full boost it felt funny , the next fuel stop I found out mine rear main was leaking again

,I replaced it about 30k ago,I hate the thought of doing it again

ANY VOLUNTEERS???????

My rear main seal has leaked since I bought my truck in May.....

I have the new one in the center console since the week after I bought it.

I pulled the bell-housing inspection cover and sure enough... . there is oil leaking right out of the seal. The thought of pulling my transmission just to change the seal when I know I need a DTT TC kills me, but I have to do it.

Any volunteers??
