I managed to unbolt my transfer case, unbolt the rear driveshaft and slide the case back enough to get the nozzle of some ultra black rtv in this afternoon. Hopefully I was thorough enough that it takes care of the leak.

The BEST wax I have ever used Miles is Adam's.
If you order from Griot's make sure you order a glass clay bar for the windshield.
It ill be the best $15 you will ever spend !

Yes you do, just use the speed shine as a lube.
Your wipers will last 4 times longer and work 10 times better.
I clay the windshield about once every month or two.
It only takes 5 min.
