X2 just weld a t40 to a wrenc

 

Could removing a t-case drop accentuate an RMS leak?

 

Only if the seal was almost shot anyways. Due to moving the transmission around.

 

Ive developed a small oil leak coming from somewhere...appears it is from right at the RMS, it drips right at the front of the tranny and it also is a bit wet around the oil pan drain plug.

 

A lot of people misinterpret a leaky VC as a RMS leak. Have you changed your VC gasket lately?

 

Have not.
It could very well be that..

The VC seems pretty simple to replace eh? Just remove the bolts, remove old gasket, replace gasket, reinstall cover?

Should be like an hour job?

 

I believe they're 10 or 13mm all around, remove the bracket holding the throttle cables as well. Cover comes off with some wiggling, remove old gasket, clean surfaces and put new grommets in the bolt hole. You can put a coat of bed liner on too to make it look nice again

 

Degrease everything first and confirm where it is coming from. Dont look for a unicorn if you hear galloping.

 

That's true. I'd look on the back of the block and see if there's anything near the VC.

I just figured since a felpro gasket is around $30 it's an easy fix or at least good maintenance.

 

I will. Its just a pain to degrease the back of the engine and up in between teh oil pan and the front of the tranny.

 

I know exactly how you feel. Good luck with it

 

The jeep is super gay.
I dumb a TON of money into the lift, new custom 3 link, tires, wheels..and as soon as I get it home I notice the oil leak..never before did it leak a drop of anything.

I did an oil change and transitioned to Rotella T6 (Full Synthetic 5w-40)..the jeep only has 90k on it.

Went out to my garage this morning and noticed a small (aboout the size of 2 quarters) puddle that was directly under the front of the tranny.

 

I put an new distributor on my Cherokee because I had a motor mount break wen the motor dropped it busted the distributor the Cherokee would still start and run with it broke now I put a new one on it won't start need help going trail ridding next weekend at Southington offeoad park

 

Ha that's normal. I've had a small RMS leak and oil pan leak I'm going to take care of this summer. Probably lost half a quart of oil every three months. Last week I go out off roading and noticed my oil pressure kept dropping to 0 found out I was 3.5 quarts low. I changed the oil 1500 miles ago too

 

Also, I've been mistaking a oil filter adapter leak for a rms. turns out its the adapter...
