208 leaking plz help!

[Chrisblazzer89]

ok i just went under to do some inspections and i noticed that my tcase is leakig from the slip yoke. Could this be the out come of the 4" lift ?

It looks like the slip yoke is kinda far out from the tcase .

Is there a seal in there that i need to replace?

or should i get a driveshaft thats longer then my stock driveshaft?

help this is my Daily Driver!

y is it soked?

old yoke.

i have pretty much teh same problem... ~4" lift and stock driveshafts... it leaks a little bit but not enough to worry me... im pretty sure that you will get the same answer from some other people on here

can you tell if it is leaking from where the tcase meets the driveshaft.. that would be the seal.. oorr where mine leaks is the part of the driveshaft that goes into the tcase.. there is a plug that the factory put in the driveshaft, just was pressed in there so it sometimes leaks.. u can take ur driveshaft off and jb weld it, sometimes that works. sry if this is a lil confusing.

really, a good picture of the slip shaft in the tcase would help, but a good rule of thumb, is at rest, half the slip should be in the tailshaft housing, at least

ok i will post up a pic tommrow

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

its leaking really lightly from the hole the the slip yoke enters the t case

 

[Confedneck79K30]

it is probably the seal, but i would reccomend the pic first, then maybe pull your dshaft out and see how much of the slip is actually in the tcase... make sure you block the wheels before pulling the shaft

i have an old yoke already out ill show in the pic and ill put it next to the corrent yoke in the t case

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

Sorry i couldnt get the pics today but i did check if the yoke is more then half out and it is about 3/4 out of the t-case.

 

[Confedneck79K30]

hmm.. can you tell if its leaking from the tailshaft seal? or from the driveshaft itself? iirc it has a small plug in it that can come out... does the section of shaft in the tcase seem solid and secure? remember jounces and bounces make that thing move in AND out...

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

i think it the tailshaft seal how do i replace it

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

I think it the tailshaft seal how do I replace it?
I need to fix it before monday.

 

[Confedneck79K30]

wowbro, you gotta give it more than 4 minutes,

you have to remove the driveshaft, then use a seal puller to remove the seal, and there is a special tool to install that seal, but you can use a 2x4 very carefully to install it

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

But i will try to get a pic

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

sorry bout the quick post but for some reason its not showing my post untill i post a new one ? weird i know

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

ok finnely got some pics

Why is it covered in oil or something?

The leak is right were it looks like a drop.

If you go to the trouble to replace the rear seal, consider replacing the output shaft bushing too. If this wears, it will allow too much fluid to the rear seal, and it will leak out. The GM part # is 03978765. Its about $5 or so. It is located behind the rear seal, and the output shaft goes through it. you would need to remove the tailshaft housing to replace it.
Just a thought...
