I think I’m not explaining it right. That o ring is in and not leaking it’s the tcase side as in between the adapter and tcase.

Gasket and skim coat of flange sealant. For that area
Hmmm, I have always been told not to use a gasket and rtv together or are you thinking something else?
I tried everything in my power to get my 208 to not leak there and have yet to be successful.
Paper gasket and rtv. Mine didn’t leak there with that combo.
I use a very thin amount on both sides of the gasket with both mating surfaces clean of garbage.

I went as far as using a wire wheel on a grinder to lacquer thinner to clean it…
That thought crossed my mind but my luck it would still leak and then I’d have to sawzall it off haha.I’m about ready to Jb weld it together…
What trans?
Th350.
I just use a gasket there
not rtv, flange sealant https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002C3CGMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use this stuff in a lot of places, out side of metal seals, sometime the splines on yokes.
the surfaces of the adapter and the t case are essentially flanges.

That might be a good idea! I’ll have to try it next time. This weekend I’ll just bring a few quarts of atf… it’s only 350 miles…….
be sure to keep an eye on the level, a slow leak is the trans killer, not the catastrophic
Have a temp gauge and will go half way and check.
I’ll be going about 35 mins to my brothers, will check it then check it again about mid point where we always stop. Then will check it again at the lake. On the way back it will be the same stops.
Might be doing some night driving as well so I cut part of the light harness and connected it to my msd solid state relay and they actually work now lol
Almost a tow rig…. Got to love the Moab dust on it…
Well it seems my input seal on the tcase is leaking so that’s the majority of the issue.
Cut and bolted on the truss

I don't believe that the input seal on the T case would make it leak from the adapter housing. It would overfill the T-case, yes.
What's your thoughts on this?

I wiped down the breather tube and moved the truck 20 feet, over night it’s leaking out and the fill plug is leaking to. I think Both are leaking, on poison spider hill you could watch it pump out.
