As the title states, my transfer case has been leaking (in multiple locations). I should note that i just purchased this truck with ~ 138k miles on it.
After getting the truck up onto the lift to change all the fluids, i noticed there was a lot of thick grime/goopy build-up covering the bottom of the t-case and nearly all the surrounding areas. I drained the fluid...but as soon as i went to torque down the drain plug, i felt it slip and realized i had a nice crack down the threads. Apparently, the previous owner had over-torqued the drain plug, causing a very tiny crack... and now I had just split that crack open more
Needless to say, it leaked when i filled the t-case.
I used some JB Weld and some thread sealant as a temporary fix...and this band-aid fix has lasted nearly a month with not even a drip. But after a 200+ mile drive, i now have fresh fluid all over the t-case again. It seems to be seeping out of the gasket (between the two halves of the case), and seeping out somewhere near the bottom of the case.
This problem has got me bummed out about my new toy. Anyone else have any problems with their transfer case? Just curious if it was a common problem...or am I just one of the lucky ones?
