i keep having a issue with the tail shaft leaking on the t-case. i need to get a new rear gasket, just havent had the time with my new job to do so, so ive been using gasket maker to help seal it for now. i though i had it whooped until i noticed it leaking on the rear yoke. in the picture the yellow line points were its leaking. its almost as if the yoke didnt get pressed fully or something? could i use the gasket maker to seal it to stop the leak?

 

PLEASE Tell me you're not serious.

You found that photo on the Inter webs right? I don't like being fooled.....

I'm talking about the gasket maker that I see in the photo.

In reference to the plug in the end of the slip yoke (underneath where the u-joint is to be clear), that is the ONLY place you should be putting ANY gasket maker to seal a leak out of the end of the slip yoke.

 

Looks good. Run it.

 

ya i ended up just adding gasket sealant inside the yoke. parked the truck reverse in the drive way. no leaks

 

Oil can't leak out if there's no oil in it.
