found a leak :-(
i changed the oil yesterday and noticed some oil right where the block and the tranny come together , just behind the oil pan. I cleaned it up real good and drove about 2 miles and it already had a nice drip ... I'm always low when i change my oil . I cleaned it a few months ago when i detailed the motor and saw it was dirty but htought it was just road grime.
also there are two bolts at the very front of the block , i'm not sure what they are called but one of them is clearly has a thin coat of oil .what is that thing ?
i found a tiny tiny leak where the driveshaft connects to the dana 35 too.

Cant void the warranty unless it directly contributed to the problem. I'm going to go out on a limb and say his large tires did not affect any motor oil leak.
Edit for the below info regarding the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1987:
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))
This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of this law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle makers brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:
“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name....” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).
