Leakstop or quality gasket sealant needed

Guys

typical wear and tear on the ol 12V again, After fixin up the gauge issue (most of it at least) I got under the truck to see that i was low about 1 quart on tranny fluid. I got under there and i see a horrendous mess, that in all honesty i dont even want to tackle until i get a clutch in.

I see no sence in actually droppin everything and rebuilding it just yet. But i do have a massive leak now from where the tranny and transfer case meet, and from both my driveshafts, as well. Im gonna be goin thru fluid like crazy.

Is tehre anything i can add to stop or slow this down? Lucas Leakstop does not seem to work anymore, or do i need to suck it up and just rebuild and re gasket everything.

Thanks guys!

Rick

What I do on my leaky farm equipment gearboxes is use a 50/50 mix of grease and 90w. Most times it is permanent fix.

Don't know that I would do that on my Rams though...
