Leaking oil after clutch replacement. Where is it coming from?

I can tell you took it back to the original shop. Those guys are complete morons. I agree with the other person that said that. Get that truck to another shop as soon as you can.

They screwed up your rear main seal and they do not want to take responsibility for it and now they're trying to give you a line of BS.

You should name which shop that is so nobody ever patronizes them again because they really piss me off.

Unless you had a brand new reman transmission to put in with that new clutch they should have given you a new input shaft and especially a new input shaft bearing along with checking the cross shafts and bushings and your clutch Fork and a new clutch brake. That's all part of the job.

You put in a new input shaft bearing for the same reason you do the rear seal. You don't want to go down the road a few weeks or months later and your input shaft bearing goes bad and you have to pull the transmission out again. Those guys are completely incompetent they have no idea what they're doing. On top of it they're liars and bums that won't stand up for their work.

If you don't mind sharing, how much did they charge you for that? And I hope you do share the name of that shop so nobody on this forum and all of the other people that everybody here knows never ever ever ever patronizes them.

They are an absolute disgrace.

 

Posted pictures are not clear. Looks like transmission is leaking from front, because inside is wet but its clear oil. Engine oil is black and I see that on bottom of engine.

 

It's not rocket science, which one is using or better yet loosing oil?
It's not rocket science, does it smell like engine oil or transmission oil?
If you can't determine which it is you might think about selling the truck and driving for somebody that can.

 

Please ... it is engine oil.

Engine oil is clear, it has soot and crud in it that turns it black. The crud and soot is suspended in the oil and when the oil is running all over the place on a thin film, especially when you are putting in oil at a gallon a time, it clears up quickly.

To the OP, you may be replacing a clutch if it is soaked, DO NOT buy into the idea that it can be cleaned up, they will have to disassemble it so get the pressure plate and metal parts cleaned, replace the disc and keep it for the lawsuit >>>>> FOR THAT MATTER keep every part that is replaced.

 

This is the trouble with the vast majority of your cut rate shops. Yeah they work for $75 or $85 an hour or whatever ridiculous cheap rate but then dont stand behind the work so you end up paying twice for the same job, or more. To be fair it is difficult to find even a $125-$165 hr shop that does good work. But if you do find one I know for sure they are worth every penny. The one I used knocked out jobs quickly and stood behind everything. I never had to test that out though because they always did it right the first time.

 

The rate dosent really equal more.or less value....what matters is finding a local shop a develping a relationship with ...I have two shops.that see a majority of my business and they stand by their work even at 75 dollars an hour I have been screwed harder by dealerships for 125 or 180 all day long

 

How many gallons of engine oil have you put in so far? I remember a Freightliner shop worked on several oil leaks in my truck, and they forgot to add engine oil when they were done. I got the red “stop” check engine light while driving.

 

You assumed they would put oil in the thing?

ALWAYS check.
