It’s a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Level II 4X4 Leaking transmission fluid between the transmission housing and transfer case.

There is a paper style gasket between the two. Originally I thought the gasket was the problem, so I replaced it with a OEM gasket. Put it all back together and it is still leaking in the same place.

I have attached a picture with the transfer case removed. Is there supposed to be transmission fluid coming out of the little drain hole or is this housing supposed to be dry?

If there is supposed to be fluid in there, why does it keep leaking????

Thanks for your help!

 

i dont have an answer, but you should post if she is stick or auto. i couldnt tell the difference from the pic.

 

Good idea. It is a 4.0L automatic 4x4. Thanks!

 

hmm. shouldnt be leaking, something inside the trans is letting fluid out. auto are pretty well sealed

 

Just confused as why there is a drain hole there? Maybe I just need to use Rtv next time?
