Rear tcase yoke seal leaking

    So gear oil is leaking out from the rear output on my transfer case. A lot. A decent sized puddle within 5 minutes easy. The seal only has 100 miles on it maybe, and it still looks good. The one thought I have is, what's to stop oil from traveling through the splines and leaking out the center of the yoke? Any ideas on that theory?

    If that's not the case, are there any tricks to get the seal that slips around the yoke to work better? Thanks.

    Not only theory, it's fact. You need to put some sort of sealant on the splines. I use non hardening Permatex.

    Alright, that's an easy fix at least. Thanks.
