im trying to find out, where the transmission meets the drive shaft. what seal is in between?
i was under my truck today and i noticed a little oil leaking from where the tranny meets the drive shaft.
it could be normal but i dont know, it was only a little, not even a drop on the ground.
is this the carrier bearing leaking?

thanks dieselfan

 

If you mean the tail housing on the end of the tranny Then that shuold be you output shaft seal. Mine seeps ever since i put amsoil in it.

 

yes the tail end. is this normal, it is only a seep, i looked on my buddy 2002 and the same amount was there.

thanks dieselfan

 

Yep, ours has it as well and i believe it is the output shaft seal

 

Mine does this too..I just keep tabs on the fluid level and don't worry about it that much

 

thanks everyone, this thread makes me feel a little better.

 

Dont know if its the same seal as the 4x4, but mine was seeping, then over the course of months it turned into a drip. My rear end and fuel tank had spots all over them. Went to the dealer and bought a new one and it took ten minutes to change.

 

do you remember what it was called? part #? price?

thanks diseslfan
