I realize now that I was a little vague; Bentley calls this the "output housing" on the 4WD transmission. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of MilosKitchen Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2005 8:27 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Syncro transmission seam leak Hello Volks, After cleaning off my Syncro transaxle case from the red sand that was caked all over it, I now find small oil drops on the garage floor after a long drive. It is coming from the transaxle output case at the parting seam, not the driveshaft seal itself (the housing where a driveshaft decoupler would be). It appears that there is no paper gasket, but instead a bead of something similar to "the Right Stuff" or some similar gasket forming material. Looks like it is easy enough to unbolt, clean up and carefully reseal. Any problems that I am not foreseeing? Thanks, Dave
