“The rear main seal is leaking along with with the seal around the transmission. I also believe the valve cover gaskets are leaking too. I have been told that the rear main seal has been a problem with these trucks. I leaved in an apartment for 3 years after I purchased my truck. It was not until I bought my house that I realized this problem which problem had been a problem for a long time. I was just wondering if their was anything that the dealer is responsible for at this point or am I sol?”
