6.4 oil pan gasket???

[lhsnbsaoa]

Looks like my oil pan gasket is leaking? Or is this something else. It's a verrrryyy slow leak so I'm not super worried yet. Coming from between the oil pan and the transmission. I'll attach a couple pictures but don't worry about the oil at the drain plug, I just got done changing the oil. How hard is this to fix??

I believe to get the oil pan off you have to pull the cab or pull the motor. I believe that is what i have read.

Goodness... Looks like it is going to stay like this for awhile!

haven't seen too many oil pan leaks. i'd suspect either rear cover or bedplate seal, or even the rear main seal. there is a little window that is covered by a piece of rubber attached to your trans. pull out the cover, you'll see oil spider webbing from seal if that is bad. all 3 will require transmission removal, but rear seal is least intrusive

None of this sounds like any fun...

make sure the front crank seal and cam sensor isnt leaking first. both can make oil run outside of the oil pan and drip off the back.

I think I trace it to a sensor on the drivers side engine block towards the front. Is that the cam sensor? If so does it need to be replaced or just a new gasket or something?
