has anybody encounter this?
the car was not leaking this bad at the disconnect before. i ran the 4x4 (for the first time this year and since i bought the car used 7mo ago) and 2 days ago i noticed my transmission slipping.
i checked the dip stick and it was bone dry. i added 5 qts of tranny oil and it brought the level up to between cold/hot.
i didnt check it agian for two days and today noticed it started slipping again. i checked the dip and bone dry again. i added lukas tranny fix plus 5qt of oil and brought it up to the top of hot line.
drove 1 hr in the highway and it was bone dry again. the last two times i added fluid i noticed the puddle leaking from under the front disconnect (passenger side). my question is...
1)what the hell would cause this leak
1a) earlier in the summer, i noticed that the disconnect had oil on it but i thoguht it was overspill from me pouring oil in the motor.
2) does the 4x4 actuator have a seal that couldve failed?
3) does the disconnect have a seal that maybe could of failed?
4) could it be a bearing inside the disconnect thats causing the whole thing to wobble or not seal right, thus making the seal ok but leaking due to movement?
5) all the above? (please say no!!)
