1990 Chevy S-10 4X4 4.3 liter engine. my transfer Case is leaking fluid. the place it is leaking from i think has to do with the vaccuum line for the 4 wheel drive. their are three lines together. what would cause to leak and what is the name of the piece that the three line plug into at the transfer case.


Thank you

First off check the trans fluid. You will probably find that it is low. There is a seal between the transfer case and transmission that keeps the fluids seperated.If that seal goes bad then the fluid from the transmission gets into the transfer case and causes it to be overfilled and t will leak out of the vent. I am not sure of the technical name for that vacumm switch assembly you are talking about.
