Slight transfer case leak, question.
Landy is running well, quick question for the peanut gallery
Got what looks like a very slight oil leak from the transfer case. Does not appear to be either fill or drain plug, both were changed for new ones approximately one year ago when new fluid went in. I think its coming from the front output shaft but not positive, maybe a drip or two a day, just enough to mist the front end of the gas tank and wet down the underside of t-case. Has anyone had issues with clogging the breather up top and then getting a leak develop? Putting one of Todd's diffs in tomorrow morning so it will be looked at, just wondering if anyone's had a leak there before that wasn't bad.

So I've got a slight issue (that seems to be getting worse) regarding the transfer case breather. After being under the car on and off over the past year we noticed an a leak that was developing from on top of the transmission. After finally figuring out that it was coming from the transfer case breather (right under the windshield in the engine bay) we blew the line out to clear it. We were thinking that maybe there wasn't proper air flow, therefore not breathing correctly when hot, and ultimately causing some type of weird pressure problem and spitting it back up.
We've cleared the line 2 or 3 times (feeling air come out on both ends) but the problem only seems to be getting worse.
The T-Case oil levels have never gone down significantly (though we've topped it off when we've been messing with it) and we have now hit a wall.
Does anyone have any thoughts of what's going on here and how to fix this?
Thanks!

Probably best to start a new post and not add onto one from years ago that is not related to your issue. But.... based on the design of the t-case it would be very unusually to have any fluids coming out of the breather, period. Its pretty much at the highest point and there is not a terribly large amount of fluid in the t-case. I would get a 6mm push-connect with some 6mm hose and extend the breather to a new location where you can observe leakage to be 100% certain. Like running the hose into the aux battery box, wrap the end in paper towel and observe. Because physically fluid should not be able to normally escape unless the vehicle is in a very extreme angle, at that point a leak would be the lesser of the concerns.
