Seal leak??

[airmech3839]

After owning my deuce for nearly 2 months now I have driven my truck at least 2 days a week most weeks except for 3 weeks straight while out of town. After driving it monday, tuesday, and wednesday I parked it for the week in the back of the driveway and went back to it today and did my walkaround....and found a puddle of oil under the truck. Looks to be coming from rear seal on transfercase. am I right....is transfer case fluid motor oil or gear oil??? here are some pics....it was dark tonight when I found it and will have to take a better look tomorrow after work.

Looks to be coming from your transfer case. Before you start tearing things apart, reach up over your parking brake assy to the top of the transfer case. It's a bit of a strech but do so and make sure your pressure relief valve is freely going up and down. It's the exact same valve found on your axles. Make sure it is free to move because if it's not then you'll build up pressure, thus spitting GL-1 out the seals. Once you've checked the valve go ahead and crack open the filling cap and listen for an audible psssss. Obviously, the louder it is the more pressure that is built up. I would check these out first before dismantling

A little further investigation and I found that the vent was stuck.....in fact I think all my vents are bad....almost all my cases have seal seeps or leaks.... anyone know where to find them to buy?
