08 Yukon Denali Rear main - what else?

[Denali2k8]

I've got a leak that has gotten worse as the temperatures have dropped and from everything that I've done so far, i'm assuming that it is now the rear main seal. I've already done the oil pan gasket and the oil pick up tube o-ring among some other different seals. I did the crank pulley seal. I've got a new water pump. I've got a valley cover set of gaskets. That's all new.

If I end up doing the rear main seal, what else should I do while I am that deep in the truck?

6L80e? Torque converter.

I replaced the torque converter lock up o ring (reinstalled the same torque converter) and transmission front pump seal on my LQ4/4L80e last year when I did this job.

Get the centering tool to make sure rear seal is installed properly.

Keep in mind that oil cooler line plate/block-off plate is a devil to get to seal up once it starts leaking. I have installed multiple new seals of different designs in mine and even stripped out one of the bolts trying to give it a little extra torque (fixed with a helicoil), and they still seep a little bit on both of my rigs. I've made peace with it. Is there any oil inside the bell housing? If that's dry, then it's probably not your rear main seal.

Sorry for the delay. I believe the last time we had it on the lift it did look like there was oil inside there but I don't remember to be honest

What’d you end up doing for the rear main leak?
