    Hi guys I've got a 99 v6 5speed with 230, 000 miles on it. About 5 months ago I changed out my clutch with a marlin crawler 1200lb clutch kit. Recently my clutch started making a squealing noise during engagement only in 1st gear and not all the time. It sounds like its slipping a little. I crawled under the truck today and it looks like I have oil leaking out of the bellhousing. Is this a rear main seal issue? Would oil be getting on the clutch causing it to slip?

    I'm having the same issue on my 98. Whenever I have the clutch fully engaged it chirps like a bird. I know for a fact that my rear main oil seal has leaking for awhile now.
    I looked online a little bit and I think it might be the throwout bearing
