Ok a few days before we are supposed to go camping the Jeep starts blowing smoke on the way home today. It seems fine at 65 or 70 mph, but 80/85 fluid is hitting the exhaust and a nice blue haze in the back window.
After I exited the highway I was getting a little bit of smoke coming just under where I sit, after about 2 minutes of driving 30/40 mph it was all gone.
I checked the engine oil, transmission fluid, and transfer case. Everything was fine, except the tcase fluid was a little low.
I cannot get a front tcase seal until next week, so the camping is canceled.
The only place I could find lots of oil was on the front of the transfer case, but I don't see any on the spinner. I thought I'd put this picture up to see if anyone had a front seal go out and if this is how it looked to you.
All I am planning on doing is replacing this seal. Is there anything else I should be concerned about checking?
As you can see the back of the tcase is pretty clean.
It looks like some of the fluid is creaping back in this image, but you can see that the rear seal (which I replace a couple of months ago) looks good.
