Rear main seal leak on 1996 Tahoe 5.7

I am going to reopen this but asking for help then going off on peoples answers is not the way to get anything done or the help one needs. Tired of this crap.

Its the blinker fluid reservoir.

GM products are notorious for it leaking

I did my apprenticeship with a Corvair specialist back in the day. I know nothing of leaks.

Does that mean my muffler bearings are going out as well?

You sure its the rear main and not the rear intake gasket leaking? Just asking. After working 9 years as a GM transmission then driveablilty tech the intakes are very common for leaking oil and antifreeze out the rear, especially if it has been replaced by a schmuck in the past who slid it on the silicone installing it.

I dont know about additives that work that good, I have never had any luck with them.

I'm sorry, I don't give medical advice but a Proctologist should be able to assist you.

I know the Vortecs are prone to having intake leaks and I should use the updated intake gaskets. I did not really get a good look as I was wearing white pants and knealing down on a 300.00 wilson leather jacket, but I did see it leaking from the hole in the dust cover, and it only seems to leak when running. I had my wife take it in for an oil change and my friend who I used to work with works at grease monkey and he said it looked like the rear seal as well.

But as you age you are learning about them

Tried to resist....couldn't. Thread needed a little levity anyway.
