I am having a hard time understanding what each party is saying to you exactly.Yeah, I'm not messing with the oil issues myself; I don't particularly trust this shop but they're right across the street from me and I was curious what they had to say, in which they did say my rear main seal was bad (that's odd bc I had it replaced last week) LOL.
My trans guy said he thought it would be easier to get to those other leaking gaskets saving me some cash. They're saying it's the same amount of work regardless...
The pan gasket doesn’t entail removing the transmission, the rear main seal does. It made total sense the transmission guy did your rear main seal, maybe a 20 minute job once the transmission is out.
If the shop across the street says your rear main seal is leaking, it may be a defective gasket or was installed improperly. As far as it being the same work regardless of which gasket was leaking, that makes no sense.
I would seek out a highly rated independent shop and start using them for your trucks maintenance. Once you have confidence in the shop you use, all this stuff becomes very easy to analyze. If you dont have confidence in the shop you use, it will drive you crazy.
