Last weekend i got stuck in a mud hole that soaked my air filter, and filled the inside with six inches of orange muddy water.

i know i need to drain all fluids.
i drained the T-case. The fluid that came out was pink.


Is there ATF leaking into the T-case?
What is the best way to flush the T-case?


Where is the best place to get a new oil dipstick that will seal better than the current one (Toyota or local parts house)?




My Battery is also being drained completely within minutes of shutting the engine off (it can be jumped). I am going to check and clean the connections on the starter and alternator. The alternator is not producing as much voltage as it should (according to the guage compared to normal).

What could possibly be draining the battery?


Thanks

There is a good chance the seal is gone between the transmission and tcase.
The tcase needs to be stipped and the seal fixed.You could flush it by filling with cheap clean oil and refill with gear oil but its only going to go pink again.

Ive never heard of one and gassers were never designed to go that deep:D I guess you could seal by wrapping something around it as a precaution when wading.

If the battery leads are corroded and dirty that will be your charging problem.
You also need to clean BOTH ends of both cables.
If its still not charging you should get the alternator checked for out put.
The dirty terminals will kill a battery and alternator if its not taken care of promptly
