The seal between my 5 speed manual gearbox and transfer is leaking.
Im fairly sure the auto has the same setup .
I know its dodgy [my middle name] but has anyone used some seal swell type additive to stop leak and work?
I will fix it at some later stage but need quick fix for now.
About one or two drips per day at the moment.Heres hoping for some good news.
:beer: :beer: :cheers: :confused:
 
If it's leaking from one box to the other you can get a bypass hose kit that lets the oil return. If it's leaking out and dripping you got nothing to lose by trying one of the stop leak additives.
 
Most people just install the by pass hose and forget about the problem. I think the problem is caused by a pressure difference between the boxes. Most likely blocked breathers. Top end is yours a part time 4wd or constant 4wd model? My constant has factory extended breathers, I can't remember if the part timers get the breathers or not.:cheers:
