Anyone else have a oil leak problem? I noticed some oil leaking between the engine and transmission. Anyone have a similar issue ?

Not there, but I did have a slight seep from around one of my coil packs on valve cover. Was fixed under warranty

I’ll take a closer look at my valve covers. Hoping it’s not my rear main seal.

I'm bringing my truck in on October 4th. Will report back. Hope it isn't the rear main seal. I've ruled out the oil sensor or residual oil from filter or spilt oil while filling. IMG_20220920_182001630.jpg IMG_20220921_181321141.jpg

Got truck back today. They removed the transmission and saw assembly grease all around the bell housing. They removed it and I'll monitor now

Yep. They showed me the pictures of the transmission. Flywheel slung the grease to the housing in a perfect circular line.

So my truck is at the dealer now and at first they told me it was the rear main seal and now they said that they found a crack on the engine block in between the engine and transmission. So now waiting for a new engine block.

did you have this issue resolved ?
was it in fact assembly lube?
I’ve had a small drop or two of brownish fluid where the engine/transmission meet for a while. It’s not engine oil and not green like the 8 speed ATF.
Mine is a ‘24 with 6K miles.
thanks in advance

Yes everything is bone dry underneath.
