Pulled the Tcase and had some fluid drain out of the transmission in the area of the output shaft. The transmission was at a pretty steep angle at the time. I immediately jacked it up so it was level and no more fluid. Probably no more than a couple of ounces leaked out.

Is this normal or should there be a seal at the transmission output shaft keeping the fluid in no matter the angle? Should I be concerned about losing a couple of ounces?

appericate any help..
 
Thanks, shoulda looked a little closer at the rubber seal on tranny output. Might as well drain and replace fluid in tranny while i'm at it.
 
i always replace the front seal on the t-case while i'm there.(unless you like doing things twice)

I realize I am joining this thread late but I learned twice to always do the above. The seal is $10 and almost always leaks after you put the t-case back in.
 
Spoke too soon, it's the rear seal on the transmission that I always replace. I jumped to conclusions about what I was reading.
 
personally ive never had an issue with the front seal... must be luck.. when i had a rear seal that sucker leaked no matter what!
