Hi everyone,
I have a 2001 VXR Landcruiser 100 with about 450,000Km on her. I have a leak on one of my transfer case seals. I replaced the rear output seal last week but this leak is from a more central part of the transfer case and so beyond the tools that I have available. She's an old truck that I generally just keep patched together with chewing gum and cable ties but she does quite a bit of offroading, generally on very rocky shaky or corrugated tracks.
So is there a quick fix that I can do from the outside of the case? Im in the middle east so can only get superglue, high temp gasket silicon or non high temperature epoxy. My plan was to empty the case clean the leaky bit from the outside with alcohol and then try and get some superglue into the cracked seal before covering it with a load of HT silicone. Any ideas whether this botch job will work?
I'll be back in the UK over Christmas and could buy some of this JB weld that Ive been reading about on this forum. Would this be more effective? Could I do my first botchitfix and then if that doesnt work attempt my second botchitfix? Is there an alternative botchitfix?
The breathers seem clear on inspection but I'll hook up an extension tube and just check that air flows through freely.
Any experience much appreciated,
Cheers
