tired of the drip drip drip from the transfer case

[Kain]

So i ordered a catch can and installed it. i am going to secure the hose a little better in the morning (the wind is blowing ) but why not catch the fluid coming out the overflow.

Why do you have fluid coming from the VENT?

Why do you have fluid coming from the VENT?

x2 . . . you got other problems . my 205 tcases all have 80-90 in them and do just fine.

 

[lamberthkp]

interesting......Why is it coming out of the vent?

 

[skunked]

Overfilled or the tranny is pushing oil into the t-case

He's got it right. My money is on the output seal of the trans case pushing atf into the t-case. If you pull the fill plug on the t-case and fluid comes out, it's overfilled. Check the trans fluid level next and I'd bet it is low.

 

[Kain]

well i think it just over full, cause there is no trany fluid in it.
other wise i have no clue. I did put a new seal in when i changed adapters

 

[Kain]

what else could cause this a blocked drain hole?

 

[diesel4me]

Try filling it up to only about 1" below the filler plug..sometimes heat will expand the gear oil and make the level too high and make it get forced out of the vent...my '72 K5 with a NP205 did that until I read somewhere the fluid needs room for expansion and they recommended leaving it an inch "low"...

My 241 has trans fluid and would push fluid out the top. The seal between them was bad. I pulled the xfer case and put a new seal in while the case was out split them and put some sealer on the case along with new seals in the case as well. No more leaks.

 

[Kain]

well i still had a drip so i climbed under and it looks like the speedo housing is leaking at the case.
is there an o-ring that goes there or a gasket

 

[sweetk30]

the drain in the rear housing section is huge . if its pluged you got problems.

 

[Kain]

Looks like the speedo housing is what's leaking sweetk30. Not the vent

 

[sweetk30]

then that is a different leak point .

there is a seal or oring inside the adaptor that goes bad . and If I recall its not avalible new . someone posted up on this before .

if me I would just brake clean it all off dry and thin coat of rtv all around it and the cable housing end.
