iv got a bad oil leak from the back of the block its coming out of my inspection cover in the bell jousing is it an oil plug?thanks

 

Probably the rear main.

 

Rear main gets my vote, too. Too bad it is a PITA to fix.

 

where is the rear main located, because i took the inspectoin cover off and there was drip coming down form behind the flywheel on the passenger side

 

Before you comdem the rear main check on top of the bell housing to see if the leak is actualy leaking up there and running thru the bell housing

 

so is there not an oil plug back there and is there any way i can tell if it is the rear main and shouldnt some othere stuff be going wrong if it is the main

 

From my experience, front/rear main leaks start slow and leak slow.

 

the leak started a while ago and it wouldnt drip very much maybe a drip or 2 a day but know if i let the truck idle it will drip about every 2-3 seconds

 

From my experience my dad's truck started with a slow leak which gradually became a big leak and would leave a 1ft puddle before he changed it.

You might check your rear valve cover to see if its leaking, but if its not its trans removal time.

 

If it gets worse when the engine is running there is a good chance of being the rear main. As the crank spins it would probably allow slightly more oil to pass by. This will not cause any major problems aside from an oily undercaridge. Also be sure to make sure the oil is always full or you will have major problems.

 

Sounds like the rear main Do check the valve cover just to be sure, though. I just installed a new one in mine today, along with a fricken huge speedy-sleeve
