Good afternoon everyone,
I recently purchased a 2002 Land Cruiser that had great service records, and was well maintained (or at least I thought so.) I'm has 225k miles on it, and runs well. I was looking over some service records, and found the original owners phone number, so I reached out to speak with him in regards to the lift that was installed while he was the owner. After chatting with him a bit, he asked if the transfer case leak was ever resolved. This was news to me, so I crawled under the LC, and I most definitely have a leak, and the fluid is definitely low.
At this moment in time I do not have the funds to pull it out, and have it repaired. My questions are:
1) is there an additive, that I can use to band-aid/slow the leak until I have the funds to fix it correctly that will not have long term negative effects?
2) How much can I expect the repair to set me back financially?
I am located in Wilmington, NC. If anyone happens to know a reputable mechanic that I can trust to do this job correctly..
Thank you in advance
