that's a loaded question. the t-case i'm working on right now was leaking from just about everywhere, and i mean everywhere. i think a lot of time people forget to use the proper sealant both on the gaskets and on the threads of the bolts. i use loctite formula 518 on all the surfaces and bolt threads, just like i do when i rebuild a split case. some of the bolt holes are "live" oil passages; they extend into the case cavity and oil can and will creep along the threads. this is not the case for all bolt holes but there are a few on the orion and stock case. so make sure you seal the threads peoperly.
