Noticed today that I have a oil leak and possible a transmission leak on my 2017 Ram 2500. Truck has 26K miles and is my daily driver, no towing yet with it. Any idea where the leaks might be coming from?

You need to determine which is it. Clean the area real well and wait until you see it again. Honey or dark most likely oil, red should be trans. Then you determine if its a seal, gasket, fitting, ect ...
Then you on the road to repair

It's oil (dark) but when I touched the wet part on the transmission pan it wasn't black like the oil.

Better hope it gets worse before its out of warranty. LOL. Dealer prob wont touch that as it sits right now. They will consider it seepage. To everyone else its considered a leak to a dealer its seapage or however you spell it. Hope i am wrong thoughOriginally Posted by PearlWhiteGT

But if its under warrantee and you don't have them document it, there's no foundation to work from to further this. They need a chance to say yes or no first.

Looks like rear main seal to me- gasket is a Booger to get to. Trans will need to be pulled. Hit it with brake clean and check on it after a few hundred miles

A few of these trucks with low mileage has had their cam seal and rear main seal leaking. Dealer replaced under warranty as well on most of them.

Most of my experience with dealers has been different than if an individual takes their vehicle in though. I used to be a tech at carmax. So we would send alot of vehicles to the dealer for things that should be covered under warranty. And more times than not it was a battle LOL. But thats probably because we were another dealer. So yall know how that goes
