Or anyone else that has usefull information that would help.

I have (finally) discovered the source of my t-case leak. Now, I need
to know why it is happening and what can be done to stop it.

The source, as you stated once before ended up being the breather
tube. I did buy and install the cap you told me about and have tried
to re-position it, but it is still coming out.

Any thoughts, on the why and how?

Strange... and you're sure the T-case isn't over-filled, right? (You
checked it on a level surface?)

The only way oil would be blowing out the breather is if you were developing
excess pressure inside the case. Why that's happening.... I have no idea.

Yup, sure it is not over filled, hell, it is prob about a quart low
now from driving it the last week. Checking it in my car port, which
I know is not 100% level but about as good as it gets.
Well, I guess once the move is done and over with, since I have a
service manual for it now, and I will have a garage to work in, I will
be pulling it out and apart. The rear bearing needs to be replaced
anywho.

Thanks man.
