So the more I drive this 06, the worse it leaks..

From what I can tell so far, its leaking from the front case somewhere a little, the oil pan, and the rear main. Sweet.

I drove home to soil sample this past weekend and the front of my white cargo trailer wasn't really white anymore. Are there any secrets I need to know when replacing these gaskets?
 
I'll share some knowledge I learned about the rear main.
Thought mine was leaking on my 05 at 125k. When I pulled the trans to rebuild, I replaced rear main engine seal. Put back together and still leaked oil. Unfortunately I had to remove the trans again so this round I replaced the 'rectangular ring seal' where the cam seals to the aluminum adapter plate.

It's still leaking ever so slightly so looks like oil pan gasket is next. I believe the rectangular ring seal was leaking some being the leak has slowed down.

If you're going to do rear main, do the cam rectangular ring seal while you're there.
