Isn’t that on the front side, not rear, if the box though?Quote:

If it's the intermediate shaft leaking you may have trouble stopping it without getting it re bored.
I'll pull the hand brake assembly off and take a look. I can't tell where exactly it's coming from with it all still together.Quote:

So I pulled the handbrake assembly off. I believe that tear drop shaped piece is the rear end of the intermediate shaft and it doesn't look to me like it's leaking there either:

I've cleaned it all up and filled the oil level back up so hopefully will now be able to see exactly where it is leaking from as it's a constant drip even when not being driven.

Could it be leaking between the FTC5095 Housing Assembly Rear Output Shaft and the Main Casing?

I don't see a listing for a gasket between these two in Microcat. Can this housing be removed and resealed with the transfer box in situ?
The rear housing can be removed/installed insitu.
Use your favourite sealant and use blue locktite on the threads to seal them.
Thanks. Found the section in Rave too:Quote:

It looks to me like it is definitely the rear output shaft housing that is leaking. After cleaning it all up yesterday here is the mess from overnight:

The black run off from the output shaft stub would just be degreaser and water from the wash down. The gear oil looks to be leaking from the lower portion of the rear output shaft hosing to main housing area. Nothing from the intermediate shaft area thankfully.
Where does the rear output shaft bearing sit? Does it live inside that rear output shaft housing? If so, would it be easier then to remove the rear output shaft housing and change the bearing on it while off the vehicle?
The output bearing is in the output housing.
Held in with a large circlip. It is a medium press fit in the housing.
You will need a press to get the bearing onto the shaft.
You can heat the housing in the oven and the bearing will drop out/in.
I put the bearing onto the shaft first, the into the housing.
