So I rebuilt my transfer case and decided to throw an SYE kit on there while I was at it. Now there's a leak and I just found it. It's leaking around the output shaft seal between the yoke and the seal. How do you fix something like that? Since it's a moving surface? And what would cause it? I had an idea that maybe the rear driveshaft doesn't extend enough and maybe pulled down on the back of the case? Just throwing an idea out there.

Seems to be a common occurrence with these kits. The leaking replacement seal - output shaft.
Is it a RUGGED RIDGE SYE? I installed quite a few of those kits and every single one always leaked from the output seal.
The seal is in perfect condition. And no bending that I can tell.
Yes its rugged ridge. Is there any way to get rid of the leak or is it just something I have to deal with now?

Lol well I tried to contact their customer support but the captcha won't load so I can't submit the ticket. I found that part on amazon but it's an add-on only. =pOriginally Posted by Whiplash

I'll try calling Omix-ada tomorrow or Monday and see what they can do.
Got the new seal in the mail. I'll give an update later on if it fixes the leak.
