    you probably have a pump rub problem,look around the tail shaft area,the pump rub plate can rub through in 5 different area's around the shaft just up from where the driveline goes in.i had the same problem with mine,if you find a leak clean it real good with carb cleaner and sand or wire brush the area real good and jb weld in the hole and all around it and let dry for 24 hours,i eventually had to jb weld all 5 area's on mine,it's been 5 months and no leaks,make sure you drain and refill with new fluid,there's a you tube video on it,check it out,hope this helps.

Transfer case leaking

The transfer case is independently sealed and does not share the same fluid that is inside the transmission. It can only leak from the breather (if the fluid is in failure or was over filled), from the front or rear seal, or from the case (either the case is cracked or where the case bolts together, the sealant has failed). I hope that helps. If I can be of anymore help please let me know.

What is the gasket or seal that goes between the transfer case and the transmission

  • Transmission output seal or Transfer case input seal is what you are looking for depending on which is leaking. You will need to separate the two to see. Many times you can buy a gasket kit for this job that has both.
  • Hope this helps.

I am leaking transmission fluid right where the transfer case is how do i replace the gasket?

I assume this is a truck, you will need to remove the driveshaft and then remove the bolts holding the transfer case to trany, theres a gasket that goes there but the real problem is the seal, once you remove the transfer case look inside the rear of the trany you will see a seal that seals that shaft replace that seal there should not be any oil in that space, hope this helps.

You have to pull out the rear drive shaft and then unbolt the transfer case. Unhook the wiring and front driveshaft and pull the case off the transmission. Then change the gasket and reinstall.

Noise coming from the transfercase near the transmissionand leaking fluid between the both where they meet up

First I would check your fluid level. There are 2 plugs located on the rear of the transfer case. Remove the top one and verify fluid level. To repair the leak the transfer case will need to be removed and reinstalled with a new gasket.

Verify fluid level first, add if needed and verify that sound goes away. If sound fails to go away you will need to have the transfer case replaced or rebuilt. I think the fluid is Dextron III ATF. Double check with another source before adding fluid.

Transfer case leak

You mean between the case halves? It is just silicon, no gasket. These are good for the pump wearing a hole in the rear housing and leaking oil. The cure for it is a new rear housing and a piece called a case saver that keeps the pump from doing it again. Taking the transfer case apart to fix it is easy, I can tell you how to do it.
