Jeep 231 Transfercase and SYE leak fix 
Date Submitted:

Description:
On my last trip down to Tillamook state forest in Oregon, climbing up a rocky, muddy hill I was bouncing around pretty good and wacked my rear diff a few times. I got out and noticed what appeared to be some red fluid. I shrugged my shoulders and figured it was either the guy in front of me or I must have a small leak. Needless to say after getting out of what I was in and parked at the top of the trail I smelt burning Transfercase fluid. Looked under my Jeep and sure enough I was leaking. I feared the worst. Oh, NO we are going to loose the Transfercase on the trail. I was really worried since its never leaked before so of course I was a bit excited.
One of the guys with me suggested that possibly my vent was clogged and blew free or I was leaking out from the rubber washer behind the yoke. At first I thought he was totally nuts and wouldn't accept that answer. Reached the top of the trail head and after a while we ended up at the staging area. I barrowed some Transfercase fluid and make sure it was topped off. Drove my Jeep over to a friends house for the evening before returning home the next day. I was to address my leak as soon as I got home.
Needless to say there wasn't a leak anymore and hey it must of been a fluke? WRONG, a month later I was doing some playing at work and climbing a hill or two and when I got back home there was a puddle of what looked like Transfercase fluid under my Jeep. Ive determined in my mind it must be when the Jeep is climbing, which puts pressure on the rubber star washer allowing the leak. Ok, this is it, Im mad. Im going to figure this out yet. I did some looking at below is what I found out. Needless to say. I was wrong and the little rubber star washer was the bad person.
