Ok so apparently all my buddies think I’m some “transfer case expert now” which I most certainly am NOT.
nonetheless they keep bringing me transfer case issues to resolve.
my friends transfer case has a leak at the rear boot where the driveshaft slides into. It’s a steady drip. (Picture included) you can see where the droplet of atf fluid is about to drop. (Starts at the metal ring and works it’s way down the plastic boot until it drips on the ground)
does that rear seal/boot need to be replaced or is that a sign of something else?
i second this. Finding the seal was hard enough I read in threads it was 2 different part numbers until I found the correct one. Luckily I took my old one with my and compared. Should I need to replace the bushing I would like to make sure I have the correct one
So I sprayed the outer portion with PB blaster (kinda rusted on) and when I cleaned it up I notice this small hole in the boot (the new one we bought had the same hole) is it some kind of weep hole? What’s the purpose of it?
the atf fluid is 100% for sure coming from that little hole drip by drip.

That is a "weep" hole. If I had to guess I would guess the bushing is bad
