Had a leak on the Disco transfer box front oil seal, the start of which coincided with some metallic discord from underneath when setting off from the yard the other day. When the garage bloke came to replace the seal the bearing cage had collapsed and whas christmas treed onto the magnetic plug. Anyway its had a new flange/seal kit and bearing, so is dry there now, but is weeping a bit from further up, I think its where the shaft with an O ring seal is pushed into the casing. Was Idly wondering if those seal rejuvenators are any good, or is it snake oil territory ? I cant see how it would get to the O ring really. I know the preferred option would be drop and rebuild the box with all new seals and gaskets but its a faff really and the missus wouldnt be happy about her car being used as a yard truck while I did it.
