    My transfer case is leaking as you can see from the pics. What can I do? its not from the fill plug or the drain plug since its all over. What do you think? there is a gasket that maybe causing this? what should i do?

    The wind blowing under the truck when driving with coat everything. You need to clean it up then drive it and inspect it for the source of the leak.

    I got my first 4x4 in 1972...haven't been without one! I still like Chrome!
    After you clean it up and drive it. Check the oil level in the Tcase and the Transmisson. Look for a leak in front of the Tcase, Transmission output shaft-Tcase input shaft. Also look at the output shaft in the back of the Tcase.

    Did you change out the T/C oil? To a synthetic type oil? I did this and it and it did start to leak. I returned to dino type oil and no more problems.
