rear transmission mount leak on samurai
« on: June 03, 2006, 06:32:05 PM »
Long time no post. I am having some kind of leak on my transmission. It appears to be coming out of the holes that the four bolts go in for the rear tranny mounts. I have so far changed the valve cover gasket, and the distributor o-ring as well as the distributor shaft extension housing o-ring. I had the timing belt changed along with the seals that were leaking at the front of the engine.  I read of someone changing the timing belt out on the trail in less than 20 minutes but I am skeptical that it would even be possible. I've never changed one myself but if it is that easy, I probably better start doing my own. I just don't want to chance blowing up a perfectly good engine. I also replaced the rear seal on the transmission and the rear output seal on the transfer case. These must be some hot spots. I put some lucas in the tranny, transfer case and engine. Great stuff. The tranny had quite a bit of howling before and now it doesn't howl at all. I pressure washed everything and I do know that the oil pan has a little bit of seap but not enough to run anywhere. just damp. It doesn't appear to be coming from anywhere above the mount, and the rear seal I replaced on the tranny is doing it's job. I thought I had it completely leak free.

So again this brings the question. Is it possible for fluid to be leaking through the mount holes? I looked with a flashlight and felt around back there but I can't seem to find any fluid except on the bolts and a little bit that drifted back to the bottom front of the transfer case. No oil has drifted back from the oil pan either. Like I said, the oil pan only has some seapage but no drips. Just a little damp.

Any help or thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
