Where does your truck leak from (check all that apply)

I was at the dealership yesterday and test drove an '01 2500 CTD...

I looked underneath and saw the front of the oil pan had the trademark oil seepage and the rear main had a slight seep...

Mine bleeds a little through the bolts on my oil pan...

Where does yours leak?

My truck leaks from

transmission, (i know bad thing), power steering pump, vaccum pump, oil pan gasket, and slightly from the bottom of the front timing cover, but not enough to worry..

Know the oil pan is leaking.. Should probably check the torque on those bolts sometime
Rear main may be seeping a little
Tranny is leaking somewhere just enought to always look wet no drips though
also transfer case but could be the real seal of the tranny...

Good ol exteral lubrication!!

Same as big blue. I fix my leaks before they get worse. Blue what did you find out about your steering gear box?

Besides that 3rd time is not the charm, nothing. Ain't had the time or will to screw around with it. Got better things to do.

Does that mean your tranny finally took the dirt nap?
