i had my transfer case repaired by my local mechanic a few months ago. He is a very competent, hard working mechanic and he almost always seems to spend more than "book time" but never charges more and i would never question anything about his work. But, he has already sealed the transfer case twice and it is still leaking. The first time was shortly after he tested it out, i was going to come pick it up but got delayed for a week, during which time he realized it was leaking so he took the cover off and sealed with RTV then it seemed fine for a few weeks. But now it is leaving a small puddle on the driveway.
He said he could not find anything about a gasket for it so he used RTV (i am not sure the exact brand he used but i am sure it was the right kind). I just called him to tell him it was leaking again so he said he would try again to find a gasket for it. Does anyone know anything about this?
if there is not a gasket what can i do to stop the leak? I am going on a long trip in two weeks and would really like to have this fixed, but it doesn't seem like another bead of RTV will do it.
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Paul
