3.
Check oil level in transfer box is correct.
Check tightness of level and drain plugs.
Check breather system for blockage. To validate
the system the pipe must be removed,
inspected, rectified as necessary and refitted.
Remove all traces of oil from exterior of transfer
box.
3. Run engine at 2000 rpm with the clutch/drive
engaged.
4. Observe joint between the main and transfer
boxes.

Drain the oil and remove the leaking output
flange.
9. If these areas require servicing, the transfer
gearbox input seal must also be renewed.
Inspect the seal track on the flange for surface
damage. If damaged renew component.
Remove and discard the oil seal.
Inspect the seal locating bore and remove any
sharp edges which may damage the new oil
seal.

workshop test, investigate the main gearbox for
cause of leak.
Detent plug or electrical switch leaks.
Cover plate gasket leaking.
1. Detent plugs and electrical switches do not
usually leak. It must be noted that they fit into
open tapped holes in the transfer case and
therefore should be considered when looking for
the source of the leak.
