Hi everyone, as always thanks for taking the time to read this and for any advice.

I'm getting the rear main seal on my truck changed this week and I'm wondering if there's anything else I should get done in that area while its at the shop. Is it possible to see the flex plate when doing this job? The bell housing area has a bad rattling noise that could likely be the flex plate from what I've read. Everything in there is stock so other than the seal and flex plate I'm wondering what else I should have replaced. My Explorer's always leaked since I got it(second owner since 05) but now it's pretty bad. I'm just glad that it's the last leak I have to worry about lol. I had to deal with a leaking radiator and timing chain cover this year already :(
