I think it will keep on leaking... The thicker oil will thin as it gets hot...

 

Thicker lube Not good...JMO

 

I've tried best I could to seal the leak. Drained the box, cleaned, smeared some permatex into the joint where I could, but it still drips a little. I have a new tranny/transfer case. I suppose when I pull the motor for Tim to rebuild, I'll fix it then and sell it. Just hoping I could put it off for the summer.

 

Hi Wayne
Mine was leaking too.
Fixing it when the engine is out is the easiest.
But someone did post instructions on how to remove the cover without pulling the engine if you want to give that a go: http://www.rzrforums.net/engine-drivetrain/29364-leaky-transfer-case-4.html#post391524
Sounds tough, but apparently doable. Good luck!

 

Thanks, Cliff
I had read that, sounds like it would be easier just to pull the engine!
I was hoping to find some miracle sealer, or to hear some response from anyone who may have tried using a different oil. Can't figure why some are using a heavy lubricant in the transfer case.
Good hearin from ya!

 

I have the same problem .. is it because the cover warped ? Should a guy just buy a new cover just incase .
How is everyone sealing the cover back on ?
thanks

 

in my case, the cover started leaking after being impacted snagging a rock. It is mounted low in the frame, and little protection is offered, even with a good skid plate. After I snagged the rock, I found that the cover seal had been broken. I tried tightening the cover bolts, and that helped, but it still dripped. Only way to fix it correctly was to remove cover and reseal. I don't know what Polaris uses for a case sealant, but I'm sure you could find an adequate sealer locally. Permatex offers several products that would work fine. Biggest problem for me, was that the transmission had to be removed in order to properly reseal the transfer case cover.
