Leaky T-case!!! Help
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:56 am
Hey folks from Snowy23,
I've got a bit of a problem. 91 awd astro, 200k+ miles. The transfercase is leaking fluid I think. I see fluid being deposited on the underside of the van from what looks like the tcase area. It doesn't seem to leak on the ground anywhere, just the underside of the van like it's being sprayed or something. Where could this be coming from. I'm wondering if the vent on the t-case is leaking. I smell it on the cat convertor when I exit the truck. Don't want any fires and all. When I first noticed it, the fluid seem to be coming from the area where the tcase bolts to the rear drive shaft. I've been running with the front d-shaft disconnected as the tcase is binding on turns with it connected. Hope to have a 2speed tcase sometime this summer. Anyway hope someone can point me in the right direction for a fix.
Thanks for any and all help.
