Some customer may comment on a fluid leak from the transmission or transfer case area. Upon further diagnosis, the tech may find fluid leaking between the transmission and transfer case or from the left hand transfer case weep hole closest to the transmission.
First, thoroughly clean the area and use fluid dye to isolate the leak. It is critical to understand the location of the leak and the fluid type (i.e. ATF or transfer case gear lubricant). The transfer case left hand weep hole can leak both ATF and gear lubricant. If the leak is not coming from the transfer case weep hole, DO NOT replace the transfer case left hand input shaft seal.
Model 790 Transfer Case: Leaking from Left Hand Weep Hole
1. Remove the transfer case. Using published instructions and tools, the machined surface of the bore must be clean and free from scratches or nicks. Care must be taken not to scratch the seal bore when removing the old seal. To ensure proper alignment and depth of the seal, take four measurements every 90 degrees around the seal circumference, verifying uniform depth. The distance from the top face of the machined surface of the bore to the metal flange of the seal should be 24.3 +/- 0.1 mm (0.957 +/- 0.004 in). Failure to follow these instructions will result in seal failure.
2. Replace the left transfer case input shaft seal and the transfer case O-ring seal.

Care must be taken not to scratch the seal bore when removing the old seal. To ensure proper seal alignment and depth, take four measurements every 90 degrees around the seal circumference. The distance from the top face of the machined surface to the metal flange of the seal should be 17.7 +/- 0.1 mm (0.697 +/- 0.004 in). Failure to follow these instructions will result in replacement seal failure.
