I have an 89 XJ with a 4.0/AW4/NP242 and have noticed that I have a few leaks on the transfercase and on the oilpan/bellhousing. I also have some seepage below the front harmonic balancer on the oilpan, but I just need a new gasket for that one.
Firstly, sorry, the underside is sorta dirty, I had it all cleaned up, then it rained so I had to run through some puddles, it's instinct, y'know?
First leak is near this random plug/bolt on the NP242, I noticed a bit of ATF around it, have no idea what it does:
Secondly, I need a new plug o-ring for my drainplug, I know this, and usually after driving it for a bit, I notice just a drop of oil below it. Only problem is, this oil goes back onto the bellhousing. Is the oil just spraying back to the bellhousing at speed? The red circle is a drop that's on the bellhousing itself. The rear main seal has been replaced.
The oil continues down the transmission pan:
And the tailcone of my transfer case is also leaking. Maybe a drop a day after driving it, there's never any on the concrete under my rig after parking it, any that I can notice anyway.
The pic doesn't really show the ATF that's been leaking, only about half the time do I notice any there, and even then it's just a drop sitting on the slip yoke by the seal.
How's the slip yoke driveline extention look to you guys? I have a 3" lift (3.5" actually) and a Tcase drop, and no vibes at all.
I'm about to get a .75" shackle for the rear and a 1" spacer for the front to give me about 4" all around, so can you take a look at my driveline and tell me how it looks, and if it'll be terribly bad when I put the shackle in? It's a Dana 35 non-C Clip, and a Rusty's 3" full leaf kit.
