I have a 05 ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi. A new motor was put into the truck when i bought it and the rear main seal plus a new oil pan gasket were put in. The truck has a slow oil leak coming from the rear and looks like passenger side rear. Is there anything we missed and anything that could cause this leak?

You sure that the rear main was put in correctly?

Are you sure the rear main seal was the original issue in the first place?

How long have you had it? Who put the motor in? Why was the motor replaced? How many miles on the new motor? Is it leaking from the top of the engine (valve cover/intake gasket) or the bottom? (oil pan)
