    So I just got an oil change and they told me I have some residual oil and told Me it could be a possible rear main seal leak.i have no oil in my driveway and park in the same spot everyday.just wanna know if anyone else had this problem and how much/and how can I find out where the leak is coming from.

    Clean the area where the oil is and see if it comes back.

    Have a look at the underside of your truck. Do you see any obvious signs of oil leakage? From what I've seen on here, a rear main leak causes oil to drip from the inspection hole on the transmission bell housing, right where the tranny bolts up to the engine.
