You don't give make or model. Here goes , The engine has a rear maim seal behind the fly wheel if it leaks the leak will be from the clutch housing. It has a front seal behind the crank shaft timing cover.it can leak from there . it can leak from the oil filter and oil pressure switch . Can also leak from the top timing cover gasket and cam shaft seals.
not enough detail for what end the leak is at. Front sounds strange for a pickup unless 4 wheel drive and then if the style is open shaft behind the brake rotor this would require dissemble of a few more things. If from the rear,which is the common repair, this is from a worn axle bearing on the axle shaft,which causes wear to the rear axle seal either located on the shaft before the bearing to the outside. Or the second option can be a axle seal located in the end of the axle housing. when you remove the axle shaft you would be looking at the end of the housing tube and see this seal. On older models ( My younger days ) they would also install one on the inner side of the housing next to the Gear Unit in the center of housing, ( also known as the PIG Unit ).need further info....
hello, fluid leaking out of rear end is probably the pinion shaft seal, its were the drive shaft hooks to the rearend, you have to drop drive shaft, take yoke off rearend, or if it is,more further towards the back,were wheels are, then you need axle shaft seal, you have one on both sides on the rearend, behind the drums, where the back brakes are, also look and see if its coming from back of transmission, where drive shaft goes into the transmission, see if you can tell what color fluid is, if its red, its probably rear transmission seal, where drive shaft goes into the transmission.
Depending on where the leaks are comming from determins the course of action that nees to be taken. If the leak is on the rear output shaft for the drive shaft, the seal can be replaced by removing the shaft and pulling out the seal. This is a relativly simple repair. If the leak is between the motor and transmission, it would be the torque converter seal and this requires the removal of the transission. If it is leaking from the side of the transmission, the transmission needs to be removed and taken apart by a professional. Check your transmission cooler lines. These can seep and the oil will run down the outside of the tube to a low spot and drip far away from the source.
If you did not damage it during install, you may have a bad output bearing which is allowing shaft to move up & down, check shaft to see if it moves. Generally unless there is a pronounced groove in the yoke seal surface it will not leak. (I generally put a small amount of rtv black on outside of seal to prevent any seepage around outside.
thanks cheers
