I know my first pictures were not the best. I does leave little drops on the driveway and its noticeable since I cleaned it and now it has leaked for another week or so. All I did was email the dealer to see if its a Saturday fix or needs to be a weekday. They said to bring it in as soon as possible and to give them 3 hours start to finish. Just haven't checked my schudule yet. They responded within an hour of the email by a telephone phone call.
I would mention it on the next oil change. You can check the fluid level and see or if its really low, putting it in reverse will cause a clunk. Then it is time to fill it back up.

Send me your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and dealer info, fooseF150. I'll look into options.

I took my truck into the dealer for the pinion seal to be changed. I noticed they put 20 km's on my truck when I picked it up. Is that common practice to test it that far?

That was all done on the dyno, foose, when they rigged up a supercharger on your machine, using it as a test bed.

Dropped of my truck at 8am and they replaced my leaking pinion seal no questions ask. Matter of fact I was driving out of the dealership by 9:30am, I waited there. They didn't put any miles it according to my knowledge. I test drove it up to 90 mph on the highway to make sure the driveshaft was still properly balanced. PERFECT.........perfectly dry when I got home 40 miles later. Job well done.

Yup, dealer took care of this today. They put 9 miles on it from when I left it off. Hopefully this fixes it...
