Ok! I just got my transmission pulled out because I was going to change the rear main seal which everybody told me it was... But as you can see I dont know if my rear main seal is leaking or not... It only leaks when running and my undercarriage is covered in oil.. And the oil was dripping from the rear of of the oil pan that meets to the trans. What do the pics say?

And I am running mobil 1 10w/30 and no im not changing to non synthetic

Thanks guys

Holy crap those are some huge pictures....

Kinda hard to tell where the leak might be coming from.

it appears you may have oil coming from the top of the rear cover, dont know why that would happen but it might be worth it to pull it off and check behind it...

Lol Yeah sorry for the huge pics guys! Ill take some more in the morning and size them down.

And If I pulled the rear cover off would the rear main seal come with it?

Thanks!

I had the same problem a while back. Got a replacement cluth since I was gonna be in there and when it got down to it the rear main wasn't the culprit. Turns out the slave was leaking and dripping down making it look like the rear main. itmaybe worth a look.

A lot of times it may look like a RMS on these engines when indeed it is the oil pan or rear cover gasket. When you remove the rear cover the RMS will come out with it.

check the rear main...check your oil pan bolts and see if they were tight or torqued correctly..and check the dang seal that your oil filter is housed in..i had to replace mine once before..on my car the oil pan gasket was good..the rear main leaked a TINy bit but the housing in which the oil fitler screws into was leaking ..theres an oring in there ..it may be crapped out..worth a look

Heres some more pics! I think I found the culprit. When I started removing the bolts for the rear cover oil started coming out of every bolt and when I removed the cover I found that at the top of the seal for the camshaft the seal was torn. Probably the reason why the oil is seaping all the way down the rear cover. I took a few more pics. Do you guys think that this is my leak?
Thanks
