So I replaced the transmission pan today, and the FMS. Leaking has been reduced by about 90% and transmission codes are gone. Now I have a new leak, it appears to be between the transmission on the t-case. Problem is I can't find mention of a seal on RAVE for this.


I would just like to remove the t-case and fix this, but I can't find a part. Check out the pictures and let me know what you guys think.

 

Take it to the car wash and get a undercarriage wash and then look for the leak again.
It may be residual fluid.

 

I always seem to have a drop of ATF on my fill plug. Never really see a drop on the driveway though. I would put some white shepherd transmission leak sealer in first. This place sells it:

I'll wash it again, there is a good chance it's residual due to the mess that was under there. This stuff looked pretty new to me, versus the older transmission oil being pretty dirty.

 

Follow up here, I replaced the seal again and used RTV, both in the channel of the gasket, and on the flush side. Leaks for now are gone... Why did I do this? Well as posted above the massive bashing of the broken front drive shaft has "bent" the body of the transmission.

Right to left I measure 0.5MM +/- 0.2 difference from the right and left fascia on the sealing surface. Basically it's as if someone took a 20lb sledge to the side of the transmission.

The transmission works perfectly, and I've no reason to replace it. However the damage done from the broken drive shaft is permanent. Please, please, everyone, check those drive shafts, you really don't want this to happen to you.

 

You are lucky you did not loose the tran's.
Glad the leak has stopped.
Thank you for posting back with the cure.

 

Yes thanks for finishing the post you started
