Transfer case leaking

[Mcmuscle3]

Hey guys my transfer case is leaking fluid;/ i cant hardly tell where it is coming from is the crappy thing. Il keep searching. I may just purchase all new seals and put them in. How time consuming would that be?

Once the transfer case is out, about a 10 minute job

thanks. Now just how long does it take to take the transfer case out:/ is it overkill to replace all seals at once? or should i just find which one is leaking?

This is an easy and cheap job. Do them both. If the yoke hasn't been replaced its a known problem.

Depends on your tools. You need to drop the downpipe off the Turbo, then loosen the 5-bolts to drop the xfer case. Faster with an impact (for the exhaust).

awesome, i feel certain its my t case because of the blue fluid which is prob shockproof?

Feel like? Because of? Youre asking how to fix a problem you havent fully diagnosed. Find the root cause and fix that. If its transfer case seals thats easy. Output shaft a little harder but not that bad. My point is even though its cheap 20 $? If you do this and it doesnt fix it you will have wasted time and 20 $. At least clean it up so you have a more educated guess than just blue fluid.
