transfer/gearbox

[MikeM]

after picking some brains out there had my transfer box oil changed yesterday ,i have noticed this before i get the odd drip of oil now & again from what i can see it looks like it comes from
where the gearbox /transfer box join is this common,anyone got any ideas and the possable cost of getting it done i am based in kent

Was the oil level low in the transfer box?


If it literally is the odd drip, I'd leave it. Might only need a replacement washer on the drain plug (if it has one). Not sure what else it could be, transfer box wise? Unless it's oil from further up? E.g. a drip from the rear rocker cover gasket, or a rear plug seal. There's also the oil feed lines to and from the rear turbo that I can think of off the top of my head.

not sure what the level was i had a garage change it ,the drip appears on the nearside next to the cross member. the drain plug on the transfer box looks ok
thanks for the reply,i thought there maybe a oil seal between the transfer box and gearbox

There is a seal between the transfer box and gearbox but it is for gearbox oil, not transfer box oil.

[Mr.Salas]

There's a opening between transfer case and gearbox with a O ring seal. Maybe that seal is broken ??!?!?

[Nick Mann]

Yes, but as my previous posts says, that o ring prevents gearbox oil leaking out, not transfer box oil. I guess it depends what the leaking oil is.
