Oil leak transfer box?

gfromleeds · May 18, 2013

Hi guys
Noticed today quite abit of oil on the under side of the bitch sorry beast
It looks like gear oil but the gearbox hasent lost any
Besides it looks like its coming from ferther back
Has the trasfer box got a dipstick or simler ? where is it? Or is it fed from the gearbox
What grade oil is it?
I know i probably should look in the manual but i aint got one

G, self contained unit. You gave a drain and fill plug on it. Uses same oil as gearbox. No dipstick just undo level/fill plug and it should just seep out.

Where is the fill plug or will it be obvious when i get underthere?
If it is leaking is there any common spots that go?

Looks the same as the diff plug. You should see it and go; "ah! That thing! "

Only thing I can think of is seals.

Cheers gona have a look tomoz
Just seams like its one thing after another! cant remember the last time i just drove it without worrying about a knock or rattle or drip or someother random problem

Starting to worry on mine too.

They should be located handbrake drum side. Make sure you undo the top plug. Or you could be covered in oil.

Thats if its not leaked empty anyway lol
It'll be just my luck that!!
Mind you it'll be just my luck that the plug would be siezed solid anyway
How much does it hold? Might just change it anyway cos dont know if/when it was last done

From dry 2.4 litres. Refill is 2 according to rave.

Oil seal on output shaft inside handbrake drum is favourite. Happy days.
