needs help truck leaking oil from transfer case?

d0va · 11-05-2006, 10:03 AM

after reading here a thread on how to solve the squeaky noise from the back (leaf spring) I found the bottom of the truck w/oil stains firts thing comes to my head F*ck my rear end is leaking

(see pict 1)

I take a look further pass the rear end and I see my muffle w/oil mark... I take a closer look and I see that the oil is coming from transfer case (if Im correct on the part name) or is it transmission

the truck is running ok I hear no sounds or feel anything wrong w/ it?

help me out guys what can I do?
is it the transfer case or transmission?
where can I check the oil level?
can I drive the truck to the dealership 20 miles from me or should I have it tow?

From the pictures its the transfer case. PM TILLERY444 I know he had a similar problem maybe he can shed some light.

after researching I found this thread http://www.titantalk.com/forums/463749-post1.html by tillery444 I was able to find the loose bolt I am less worry now knowing where it was leaking from. I thightend the bolts a bit. I would take to the dealership tomorrow... how can this bolts just loosen up by themself?
I guess they dont have the same gorilla installing the transfer case!!

My transfercase had a folded seal and was fixed under warranty. This was noticed at around 2,000 miles. It would only leak when 4wd was engaged after it would drip onto the ground. Not a problem since the repair and 30,000 miles later.

thanks cvtitan for replying to my post I took the truck to the dealership and they top off the t/c 1/2q and retorque all bolts... Im taking the truck on friday for faulty fuel gauge and squeaky passanger seat ...

smoke 05 Ill see if i try my 4wd hoefully it was just the bolt loose and not the gasket
