I managed to install new valve cover gaskets over the short weekend and it seems to have stopped the oil leak from the head, however when I park the truck after driving for any period of time, there is a few drops of various pooling up in small areas. The np241 seems to be leaking like a sieve from almost everywhere, and now I have ATF all over my skid plate and underside of the cab. The transmission still may be seeping, from what looks like the input shaft, but it could also be my rear main. There is a few small drops congregating at the adapter plate/block end of the truck.
I spoke with my mechanic today briefly and he told me to check the breather vents on both the transfercase and transaxle to see if mud dobber had made a home inside them. Even if they did, wouldn't I still need to reseal both the transmission and transfercase? If the vent tubes were blocked off, I would assume pressure would build inside the housings of both pieces and wind up blowing out seals.
Also, does anybody have a list of seals and gaskets so I can go ahead and prepare to reseal both pieces of the drivetrain? I've looked around and found nothing but complete rebuild kits, which I'm not interested in doing seeing as both seem to operate just fine.
