I have just had my LT85 Gearbox rebuilt and new seals fitted to the LT230 transfer box as it was leaking big time.
Unforunately I still have a leak that shows up after as little as 20 km's.
Most of the oil is coming from the Transfer case, but a little is from the gearbox. The leak shows up on the mating faces between the gearbox and transfer case (input side of the transfer case).
As all the seals are new is this a sign that the job has been botched or could it be caused by a blocked breather ?
Well, you should be careful because if you are NOT in-line between the transfer case & the transmission the output shaft of the transmission will damage the seal again.
The best is to use a transmission lift so you can know all the time that you stays in-line. Or to be vary vary careful at the matching.
as an aside I'd wager it is actually leaking from the intermediate gear shaft
there are 2 o rings that i've in and allow the oil oil
I put RTV over the end to stop it
a pic of this can be seen here: http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk ... e_230a.jpg
to the left of the main shaft seal the RTV can be seen
It turned out to be the O ring seal - was torn when fitting the shaft and a small piece had been carried through to the gearbox seal allowing it to leak as well.
All fixed now and ready to head bush again.
