I'm seeing some atf4 leaking on the garage floor its not the tranny so I'm thinking its the transfer case. I really can't pinpoint where the leak is so I'm thinking I should check the transfer case fluid level.

I'm guessing its just pulling a plug?, if I knew where to look:-\

Thanks

Here is a link that shows a photograph of the transfer case fill and drain plug locations. It will require a 10mm Allen socket bit /wrench in order to remove the drain and fill plugs. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d-t267899.html

 

Caution on the plug.... It is a tapered plug. If you tighten it too much, it will seat flush with the case. If that happens, about 3 hours with a chisel will get it back out. Ask how I know......Snug is good!

 

I have started using Teflon tape on the threads that way I don't have to tighten it too much to get them to seal, also makes it easier for removal.

 

I find it a best practice to use a torque wrench and tighten items to the recommended torque specifications.

 

I know you're not draining it but just a bit of advise for anybody else reading this thread. ALWAYS make sure you can get the fill plug out BEFORE you drain the oil.

 

OP back, thanks for the advice especially about making sure you can get the fill plug out!

Thanks

look between the transfer case and trans joint that was where i was leaking not a big job to drop the case and replace the two seals there
