I'm leaking ATF fluid, and the acd resovoir is low after topping it off.

The banjo bolt is completely dry, there are puddles of fluid in the pockets on top of the transfer case. I'm at a loss, where else can it be leaking? There's a plate on top held on by four bolts with a white cap, could that be it?

Thanks for all your help

 

You know that the ACD reservoir will look really low after driving right?

Maybe you aren't leaking as much fluid as you think? Are you sure the puddles on top were ACD fluid?

 

Yes. ATF fluid. Puddles of it on the xsfer case, and the garage floor. Strong smell of ATF as well. Light stay off for a day when I top it up. Then back on again when resolute is empty.

 

If you're getting puddles of it... my suggestion is to fill the res, and look for leaks. It should be pretty obvious?

 

Is Atf in the transfer case oil? if The ACD actuator Seal is leaking it will leak it into the transfer case causing it to fill up the case and then it will come out of the over flow and make it wreak like oil, Specailly at high speeds.
If it isnt in the Tcase oil, then its prolly a O-Ring on one of the Tcase covers. Then its prolly leaking onto your
Downpipe. and creating the smell.

 

Where are those O rings located? The rear of the tcase? I definitely am getting oil on the down pipe. Somehow I am seeing fluid on top of the tcase though, but the overflow vent looks to be dry.

 

The O-Rings seal Oil passage ways for the ACD system, You have to spil it open in order to see them. They are located inbetween the halfs. I honestly hate this ACD system its nothing but issues, that why i replaced it with a Built Non Acd Tcase

 

So either way it has to be removed and opened for either of the above mentioned leaks? Thank god the dealer guaranteed to fix this issue when I bought the car a week ago.

Thanks for all the input guys
