I found out why my transfer case had a very slow leak a few days ago... I knew it was leaking for a couple months, but figured I could put it off until after Christmas, then it starting spraying all over the undercarrage while I was on my way to Hidden Falls... turned back, took it to a shop to have it fixed (I thought it was a bad gasket, as much as I hate letting mechanics do stuff, I ended up having to spend $400 to fix my mistake last time I did any drive-line work) turned out my speedo gear just had a bad o-ring... I wasn't sure whether I should have been pissed because I could have done that myself months ago, or happy because I didn't have to spend the money to replace the gasket.
There's some BS for ya... it still burns, I was looking forward to HF so much.
