Thanks!

@cevans6318 have you seen this before on such a new truck? The thought of them taking my engine apart is not great

I have a 2021 ram with 5.7 hemi etorque. It has 12900 miles on it and I just noticed a few drops of oil under it. I have a couple pics showing drips underneath. Anyone know where it may be originating or what the fix may be?
I have the exact same leak on a 2022 Ram 5.7, just dropped it off for the 2nd time in 2 weeks....first it was the oil plug....this week it's the filter...both done by the dealership...truck has 19000 miles on it! Damn...Damn...Damn

Does that mean both leaks were simply bad oil changes by our dealership? Didn't tighten the plug and filter properly?

I just took my truck in for the same thing. They told me its the oil pan. Let's see if thats the fix. Anyone have any update from their experience with this?

That's why I change my own oil. A simple but very important job.
