Has your rear main seal been done yet? If not... have fun one day! :devilfinger:

The rear main seal itself may actually be good, but the rear main cover often leaks badly. Unfortunately, you have to tear things apart just as much to replace it. Don't ask how I know!
Larry is the king of rear main's. I'm getting ready to tackle that this weekend. I watched a few vids about that damn Cover I'm sure that's my issue. Leak is really getting bad now.

I will have to call the dealer tomorrow because on RockAuto all I am seeing is wave or standard motor products. I try to use all ACDelco on my vehicle unless there is a better brand.

You may re-think the dealer when they quote you the prices. Good Luck.

No but once you have it pulled it is easy to change the rear seal. [emoji1787]
