Pull the output flange and lightly coat silicone n the splines. Re torque nut and stake it. No more leak! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


Thanks for the response. Is it normal to have the oil hanging out in the flange area? If not, why wouldn't there be something oem to prevent it? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


Well, there is a seal that rides on the outside of the flange coupling, but on the inside at the splines, there is nothing to keep the oil inside the case from escaping, aside from a tight fit, or some sealant. I learned the trick of applying some RTV to the splines when I took the flange off my Marlin-built t-case and silicone around the splines.
