did it today..pretty simple..4 bolts on the diff and a xmember under the pan..still ******* leaks..i have no idea what to do now..have done oil pan gasket, valley pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, rear main etc..last thing i can think of is oil pressure sender but it doesnt seem to be leaking

I went through the same thing. Mine ended up being a crack in the rear drivers side of the oil pan itself.

I didn't find the crack until I installed the oil turbo drain, and took the pan out to drill/tap for it.

well my leak is even worse now..im down a quart in 3 weeks..just pisses me off..

problem i can see, i stripped the rear 2 bolts somehow..the 2 tiny ones that go all the way through the pan into the rear cover..i had a torque wrench and had it at 177 in lbs or whatever it needed..stripped both of them but they are still "tight" and there are like 4 other bolts around those, plus the 2 that go through the bellhousing, so i cant see that being a problem..time to find a another 6.0 and sell this one for a few bucks..it would be so much easier to swap another motor then try to find this leak lol

It has to be the rear main seal
