Hi all,
1992 200Tdi - LT77S Gearbox, LT230 T/Box. 145,000 milesAfter filling new Oil Seals to my transfer box last week all seemed to be going well. NO oil leaks for the best part of a week!
Yesterday we did about 150 miles - mostly on tarmac and certainly nothing that would cause any damage...
When I got home the spare wheel had tell tale blobs of oil on it, on closer inspection BOTH oil seals have let go again and my gearbox is leaking oil from somewhere above the front output flange of the transfer box.
I now notice (after a quick inspection last night) that there is 1-2mm of vertical play on the front output flange - Any ideas?? The locking nut was thread locked back on when I replaced the seal so I dont think that should have come loose? The flange was scored around the sealing face though but I cant remember it having as much play as that when I changed the oil seal..
As for the rear oil seal - all I know at the moment is that oil is leaking from the weep hole behind the handbrake and that the sealing flange WAS ok when the seal was replaced.
Gearbox - This is more of a concern - It appears that oil is running down the side of the box, over the filler plug and finding its way onto the ground via the right hand side chassis rail. Any ideas where it could be coming from?
Thanks again, Jon
