Some kind of fluid leak

[XxBIGxTEXxX]

So i have noticed that theirs some kind of leak going on the rear passenger side and dont know what could be causing that.. What im seeing is that the frame right above the tire is all wet and oily and i got under the truck but dont see any sines of fluid dripping or running out of the transmission or the transfer case since its the only closes thing close to it.. Could it be a hose that runs to that back tired or something dealing with brake fluid? any suggestions or something yall think what the problem could be?

rear passenger side but near the tranny or t-case? Sounds like two different areas. AT any rate look for worn driveshaft joint seals slinging oil around and check the fluid condition and level of the same as you might be spitting fluid out of the vent hoses.

No.. Its nothing dealing with that tranny or t-case cause i just replaced that and i lookked to see if it could be that they left soomething loose but everything is dry around it.. were i see that its wet and oily is on the frame on top of the tire.. like if u squat down on the rear side of the passenger like if u would change the tire, u can see wet and oily are right behind the top of the tired on the frame..

If you have rear AC it could be the AC lines are leaking oil.

thats what i was thinking, you would notice a brake line leaking pretty quick.

If you have rear a/c and it is okay I don't suppose you blew out a shock. I take it you clean it up and it keeps coming back? And only in this one spot?

I havent cleaned it up since i havent had time... And yes its only in that spot.. Now, I do have rear A/C but it doesnt work because i got told that theirs a rear filter in one of the panels which might be clogged which causes the freon not to reach to the back.. So it could be that since theirs 2 small hoses running right by that tire but dont lead into the break drum.. I wouldnt think the shocks could be it since they are a year old and have the ones with the heavy springs in the rear tires only... But you never know.. ill have to look into that this coming week.. but since yall mention rear a/c, i think that could be it.. but not sure since i checked the break fluid and it looked like it went down a bit and around the drum, if your looking at it from under the truck, it looks really wet too. If the problem is the rear a/c, yall suggest for me to undo the panel and switch out that rear filter? i havent done it since im the only one that drive that truck.. i hardly have any people in the back but could be a good thing to have running...

if its wet on the outside of the brake drum it could be the seal on the axle tube leaking, driver side rear leaked on mine for a bit.

rear filter that is blocking freon movement? No such thing. Localize the leak first and we can deal with a/c when the time comes.

So i think i found the problem.. Its the gas from the shocks or oil in the shocks since i notice today my truck started to bounce allot on the road so i got home and i decided to sit on the rear bumper to see if their was any movement at all and the truck doesnt move at all and shocks are pushed all the way down since i have the monroe's that have the coil or spring around the sock which this cause that leak of oil everywhere and for the truck to start being bouncy on the road... I think i have a HOE leaning sideways now.. hahah
