Transfer case leak!

[2010ralliartDM]

was doing an oil change today and noticed this :mad:

[RalliNurse]

ouch...what did the dealer said in regards to the leak? what caused it?

[Jackal]

Well I would say its wear and tear from simply living way up north past 50 degrees latitude. Where the winters can see -60 C with the windchill and over plus 30 C in the hot summer. That combined with very little in the way of paved roads other than in town and even the main road going south is always being repaired. You guys should Google Thompson Manitoba where 2010RalliartDM lives. Not to mention the closest Dealership is in Winnipeg, Manitoba about 720 Km or about 8 hours drive each way.

I would phone Waverley Mitsubishi and let them know what you found and what they reccomend you do, also check out what the roadside assistance covers and if it would cover the cost of a tow into Winnipeg otherwise you may do additional damage and they might be less likely to cover under warranty.

well i just got some time i was going to go under and try and see where the leak was coming from and found another nice little suprise :mad:

[BravoZero]

Damn dude... you haven't abused or driven the car that hard have you?

[2010ralliartDM]

no i actually only really use it for highway driving

Ouch! looks like you ran something over.
if you're still under warranty they should take care of that.
If not clean it to see where it is leaking from.
Hopefully it is just gasket or seal or something cheap (I mean relatively inexpensive).

Transfer case is expensive.
Rear diff is expensive.
Something I wouldnt want to pay out of pocket. :(

You also have to hope it will survive the drive to the dealership, I believe he said it's a long ways away.

i think dodge will do my warranty here onna have to call monday see what they say ha kinda fucked up they both started leaking pretty much same time..

[MTZL]

Bravo has a point, I would tow it.

[2010ralliartDM]

the roadside assistance wont cover me the 760 km and the tow bill would be a little high ha

I check my rear diff today while installing my catback because all the threads of "over-filled diffs from Mitsu" got me paranoid.

My rear diff is dry, no leaks at all.

I'm at 12,XXX miles. Almost time for me to change the rear diff and t-case fluids.

Bryan are both the rear diff and t case fluid changes covered when car goes in for C maintenance service. If I recall my car cost me a mint when the C service came up. I also ask the question again does anyone know the part number of the aftermarket trans filter not the factory paper trans filter.

I have no idea, I do all my maintenance on all my cars. The only time I see a dealer is when I am purchasing my cars. ;)
