Hi there,
I have a leak in my transfer case right where the drive shaft goes into it.
I had some bad u-joints and replaced them but it seems to be leaking oil from this location.
Any ideas?
I had a couple replies on my thread at http://fixamotor.com/forum
but still have not managed to quite figure it out.

any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Justyn

it is probably the seal is bad on t-case if you replaced it and did not lube it up prior to reinstalling shaft then it burnt it up and it leaks. Or the bearing/busing in back is worn out and causing it to leak.
