drive shaft question

i was walking around my truck this morning and noticed that i had oil spots al over my tailgate and fenders so i crawled under the truck adn noticed oil splashed everywhere, adn not like dripping from parts just made things wet looking, i noticed that where the yoke comes out from the transfer case theres a lot of oil being flung into the under side of the cab. is this normal ?? i noticed it when i bought the truck and even my 1/2 ton chevy 4x4 had the same issue and it had an auto tranny and my dodge is got the 6-spd, ive never had any trouble with tranny issues and every time i get an oil change i have the boxes checked front to back and everytime they check out full.

Yep, def. not normal, ya need a tailshaft seal. Pretty easy to change, very easy to change if ya got a set of transmission seal drivers.

Mine was doing this also. Make sure you get the correct seal. I had to go back twice before I had the correct one.

Also take the time to get it in squarely and run a finger full of grease around the seal before you put the yoke back in.
