Looking for a little assistance. I recently had RMS, oil pan gasket and valve gasket replaced and feel pretty confident that I'm not leaking oil anymore, but it appears that the leak that exists now is now gear oil from the transmission. I have added gear oil several times over the last 2 months. My question is, could it be a gasket issue on the transmission side or could there be something more at issue? Any input or insight is greatly appreciated.

Looks like rear main seal on the engin. If its not too bad I'd wait til its time to do a clutch/flywheel and change it then.

Mine is leaking from the same place. I suspect it's an input shaft seal on the front of the transmission. Mine just seeps a little, so I'm just going to monitor the fluid level until it's clutch time again.

I had the same problem when I first got my jeep. If the rear main and pan seal were installed correctly then it should just be some left over residual oil that will stop on its own. Mine continued to drip older dirtier oil for a couple of days after the job and then stopped. clean it up and keep an eye on it.

T4 thank you, yes, turned out it was a bad rms that was installed, it has been remedied, as of right now.
