you may want to request they put dye in your engine and drive it for a week or 2 and see where it is actually leaking from

Thanks for the info! They put dye in it the last time because I called BS when they said it was the rear mail seal again. They drove the truck ~50 miles and said it was definately coming from the seal. I found the second tech post interesting since these new 6.0L blocks are alum.
