If it drips on the ground its a leak. If its just wet in the area its classified as a seep.


I'd start with oil pan seal before i tackled the rear main.....

I'll resurrect this thread 1 more time. The leak progressively got worse and was dripping on the driveway. So on a whim I decided to use Valvoline max life oil to see if it helped any. To my surprise the leak actually stopped for just about 1 year. But now the leak has came back worse than ever. The max life must have swollen the seal like it was supposed to but now I suspect that it shortened the life of the seal. Guess I'm hosed now and either placing a drip pan of some sorts in the driveway or replacing the seal.
