Help! Urgent Fluid Drip

[aeroelastic]

hi,

notice some fluid drip from the connection between the prop shaft and gear box, towards front end of prop. Check Haynes and it said quite likely seal broken. How do i check the level of this fluid?? What fluid is it using? Is it safe to drive? Thanks

Hi,

Garage checked seal broken.

Anyone know how many litres do I need to replace? Its the Transfer Case, not the gear box.

Thanks.

I don't know anything about your car but transfer cases usually take between 1-2 litres. And the fluid is something like 80w-90.

Call up your local motor factor and they will say what oil goes in the transfer case. it's really hard to ****** up a transfer case.

Why was it not refilled by the person who replaced the seal - or are you planning to do both yourself?

Under the impression no ones replaced the seal, garage just confirmed the diagnoses.

If they had half a brain they would have checked the level.

The garage will replace the seal.

Was worrying that they might put some s**t oil in it...

So plan to buy some and ask them to use it.

Update!

Sorted, a seal rubber ring from Lexus (£18), £14 worth of new oil and an hour labour from a local garage...

Not an expensive one luckily. But the seal ring is a bit pricy...
