Hey guys, its me.
as some of you already know, and most do not. I am no longer in Grass Valley, or even in California for that matter. I am currently sitting in Washington right now.
during my very long and boring drive up here the other night...somewhere along the way the seal on my rear ouptshaft on my t-case gave out. (208 t-case). now it has always leaked to some extent, and i have replace the seal a few times. but this time i lost alomst all of my fluid and coated the underside of my truck nicely
i have since crawled under the truck and repalced the seal. i cleaned everything up real nice. i checked everything for any nicks or burrs, i check everything for any excessive movement or "play" and then put in a new seal, and this time i even added a bit of silicon/gasket around the edges of it.
well its still leaking..like it has always done. i can't figure out where it is comming from. it doesn't do it when its sitting, and i have washed the underside of my truck, and no leaks, so i go for a short drive, pull over, and its a mess again under the truck and got tranny fluid all over.
so what am i missing? has anyone else had this problem? any ideal how to stop this leak?
