    Ok guys I had another post about a transmission oil leak and I believe I have found the source, I think it is the shifter, possibly gaskets, but the oil is leaking from the top of the transmission and dripping down soaking the transfer case and part of the transmission as well, even the driveshaft has oil on it. However when I check the transmission and transfer case levels they are good, I am going to check out the shifter gaskets and see if thats the issue. Has anyone had this issue before?

    Ill keep you guys updated with more pics

    Ok here are some pics after removing the shifter cover, It looks like the 4WD shifter has been leaking for sure.

    Im going to clean it really good and replace the gasket, I read in other posts people talking about the blowers being clogged, how do I know if I am having that issue?
