wozza35 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Got my new truck yesterday and i knew it had a whine in 5th so i had a quick look underneath and the transfer box is very oily at the back now i know there is a seal of some kind there and i was wondering if its a simple swap or do i need to get another box??

The Novice Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Depends where abouts on the back the oil is coming from. If its around the brake could be the output shaft oil seal. This thread may help http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=29370 There is another thread in the tech archive for replacing the bearing if you need to.

Orange Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 As above - rear output flange oil seal is the most likely candidate. Fairly simple swap/renew... The oil may also be coming from the PTO drive cover plate (above and to the left of the brake drum as you look at the rear of the box). I've just had to replace the gaskets on mine... Another possible leak point is the speedo drive. Fairly simple to remove, renew the seal and o-ring then replace. Also, it's worth noting that every LR I've had leaks around the top of the box (can't remember what the piece is called but it's where the breather pipe attaches to, I think) and with the air movement underneath the car, the oil seems to go everywhere...
