Hey y'all so I changed my 3" lift to a 4.5" rc lift and noticed that my xj was leaving little spots of oil so I got under the jeep and try to locate where this leak was coming from and all I can see is that the is red witch means it's tranny fluid and can't really see where it's coming from all I see is that the bracket that holds the transfor case up is where all the tranny oil is sitting and just drips off of ther if I remember corectly it wasn't leaking as bad as it is now would anyone have an idea where this leak is coming from so could someone help me figure this issue out thanks

 

Pic?

So its leaking from where the TC meets up with the tranny?

I dont think that your lift would have anything to do with the tranny... It its coming from the back of the TC it could be your slip yoke is coming to far out of the TC.

Just my thoughts.

 

X2 on the slip yolk, look and see how much its coming out of the rear of the TC. Take a pic and post it if your unsure...Tj

 

Ok I'm not sure what or where to really look whats the slip yoke look like guys I
sorry this is my first jeep and would this be an easy fix if this where the issue

 

well I can't see where it's coming from really I just see the tfluid dripping off the brace that holds the tc up

 

get a can or two of brake clean, spray down the t-case, crossmember, tranny, drive a mile or two crawl under there and look for the source of the leak

 

Where the shaft enters the T/Case is what you call the slip yolk.

 

you might have a bad tail shaft seal and since you did a TC drop and tilted it back more it gonna leak all the fluid out untill its below the seal.

 

oh ok

 

ok where's the tail shaft seal?

 

If it is like mine it's leaking from where the transmission bolts to the motor it's a $5.00 seal but requires you to pull the transmission to get to it. I will be doing this this weekend.

 

231 or 242 TC?

 

242

 

than its probably leaking where the D/S goes into the transfer case............
