    Is it going on the clutch plates? Or just....?????? You lose a gallon every 15k?

    I wouldn't drop the 2k on it. I would wait till something else needs to be fixed near it and do both. Unless it got real bad

    It just started leaking last week.
    I would say not a gallon in 15k I'd say maybe a shot glass a day as of now give or take

    Yeah I know. I have the breather line that puts oil all over the driver side of the engine. I changed out the starter and it's covered in oil.......

    I don't think it's the rear main. It's coming from a higher point then that. Towards the mid to uper gear cover.

    There is something just above transmission that requires a gasket.

    I know this because last week I had a clutch replaced & my shop said they always replace that gasket when doing a clutch because its really easy to do at that point.

    Yeah it was still under warranty when turned up, will not void it because it is a factory ECM setting that's available.

    It was turned up by Smith Power Products in SLC - Detroit Diesel.

    I bet that's what they were talking about because that's where it's coming from. And running down the air compressor and dripping down from the oil pan and trans housing
