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?

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?

My oil pan seeps just a hair, but that is the only one that I haven't fixed...
