    2004.5 dripping oil

    So I have a 285,000 mile 2004.5 that seems to be dripping small amounts of oil. When I was swapping my exhaust a while back, I noticed near the bell housing there was some oil. I’ve checked the valve cover and haven’t noticed any leaking and the dipstick still reads well within acceptable operating limits. I’m not really sure where the dripping is coming from and if it’s a bad issue I should investigate further. I’m new to diesels and fairly new to car mechanics in general and could use some insight. I’ll try to post a pic later today after work so show the general area of the drip. The drop isn’t bad per say but I’ve noticed oil on the ground.

    It might be leaking out of the rear main seal
