oil seal failure is the main killer of rubber timing belts . Oil can come from the crankshaft seal --the cam shaft seal/s and the hydraulic belt adjuster.. So if you have the front off and am replacing the timing belt then it is fools economy not to replace the seals and any idler pulleys at the same time.
several things, the rear main seal is accessable by removing the transmission. if this vehicle is standard transmission, then would recomend new clutch at this time given the amount of labor involved. if automatic, remove drive shafts, transfer case, transmission, and flexplate ....replace rear main. approx 5 hrs.
severe oil leaks would be front timing cover crankshaft seal and the rear main seal or leak at oil pump at front timing cover oil leaks can come from damaged oil filter seal or damaged oil pressure sending unit.slow oil leaks oil pan gasket the valve cover gasket leaks you will see and smell smoke from under engine compartment which could be a fire hazard.
Well sometimes.... the front crankshaft seal is usually called a crank seal, or the front timing cover seal but the rear crank seal is (usually) called the Rear Main crank seal. In order to replace the rear seal , the transmission will need to be removed. If its the front, then the harmonic balancer will be removed. $380 sounds cheap. As you will need a oil seal, oil pan gasket, oil, filter, labor and tax. Maybe even a lower engine mount.
OIL IS LEAKING BY VALVE GUIDES.BURNING WITH FUEL OR REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. CHECK AROUND FLYWHEEL AREA TO THE OIL PAN .ALSO IF FRONT CRANK TIMING COVER SEAL LEAKS IT WILL LEAK WILL CAR IN MOTION.OIL WILL LEAK ALONG THE HIGH WAY YOU WILL LOSE OIL THAT WAY.
this truck is equipped with an aluminum oil pan you could have 1 or several things going on... a stripped drain plug which is causing it to leak or it may be a leaking front seal or a rear main seal. If it is a front seal it is not to labor intensive. But if it is a rear main seal leaking it will require the transmission to be removed since the seal is a 1 piece rear main
What you need to do is to change the oil seal on your engine and the gasket, I can assure after you change this parts there will be no leak on your engine.
