I have run the truck for a litte over a week now and even with the leak, not had to put any oil in it.
The best way to prove that you’ve got a rear main seal leak is the check if the engine side of the flexplate or flywheel is oily. I could probably get away with running the truck longer with the leak and funds are real tight right now but he's slow and the price is right and I might as well get it done before I do get busy and then it needs to be done plus DOT has been at the loading terminals on a regualr basis and Mr' DOT man doesn't like leaks.
If the rear main seal is leaking on your engine it will drip oil onto the flexplate or flywheel and sling oil around the bellhousing. Most engines have an inspection cover in the bellhousing the allow you to check.
