Transfer Case Leak-Vent???
I noticed my transfer case was wet today, and on further inspection it was bone dry. The rear seal is where it appears to be leaking. I had a similar problem with the rear axle on my last truck. It turned out to be the relief vent was plugged with mud. I looked but couldn't find a vent. Does this model use a vent? If it does, can anyone tell me where it is located? I want to check that out before I change the seal. It is a 2000 Ranger 4x4. Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but most often, vents on these under chassis units like the rear and front axles consist of a tube running up from a nipple on the housing to the frame with a little screen cap on it. If it's plugged you'll know by removing the upper fill plug and using a length on tubing(tygon is good) with a wadd of bubble gum wrapped around the end for a seal an see if you can pressurize the case with your breath. It should'nt hold pressure as the t-case should be vented. Feel around the top of the t-case for a nipple or a rubber tube connected to it. Follow the tube to the end. There should be a screen cap on the end of it. The silly thing might run all the way to the engine compartment. Pull it off and retest with your bubble gum hose
Just an idea. Good luck
