So apologies in advance for this horrendous video. Here are some pics as well.

There is this “gap” and some wet (what I’m assuming is oil) around it. My oil level hasn’t changed and the gap looks like it has a machined surface. It’s on the passenger side where the motor and tranny meet, above the oil pan. It’s not at the seal of the engine and trans but right before it on the engine portion.

Anyway leaking oil obviously isn’t great but wanted to make sure this was a normal “gap”

gap is normal the seepage might not be. I would clean it off and see if it comes back. is it leaking from the sensor right above where you took the photos. If your rig is an 18 and it has taken 7 years to get to that point it is probably nothing to worry about...hit it with brake cleaner and see how fast it takes to get oily again.

Okay cool thanks! Once we can get 2 freakin days without rain I’ll give her a good wash and degrees and see.

Look up and see if it's wet at the top of the transmission housing. Could just be a leaky oil filter adapter seal
