is there a stop leak for D1 t-cases - Land Rovers Only

disco12 · 05-26-2006, 12:54 AM

My D1 is leaking a little (2 drops)of t-case fluid like everyday so far I do pay it attention as I don't want to F-up my T-case. I know the saying if a rover ain't leaking it's empty. but I wanted to know is there like a stop leak for the D1 gearbox and can I find it kragen auto parts. I took it to Frank over at Cerrones european but my job ain't paying enough to get it fixed. It just needs new seals. If there is a stop leak where do I pour it at until i can get the money to have it fixed. Again if anyone on here needs anything from staples the office store I'll hook u up we got great discounts.

A hook-up from Staples? Hell, man- bring your truck to me and I'll fix it!
There are several things that will swell the seals- some even work. There are so many different things, just ask the sales druid at whatever closes car parts place what gear oil additive will swell the seals a bit- there's probably a dozen products at the place that will do it.

I am sure Lucas will have something that might work.

I would not worry too much about a few drops here and there. If you keep the fluid in there you will be fine. I know having to add T-fluid on regular intervals because a pain in the ass though.

Disco12: Stick a piece of cardboard under and see how many drops appear overnight and exactly where the drops come from.
There are 30 drops/drips in 1 cc. So if you ar losing 2 - 6 drops of oil per day that's about 2 - 6 ccs of oil per month. You wouldn't even notice any decrease in the t-case oil level till you get down by 100 cc. So don't worry; just get the levels checked every time you have an oil change.

Good try, but as much as I push Lucas, they don't offer a sealer for t/cases.
