About a week ago I needed 4wd to get out of some rough ground so I locked the hubs and pulled the lever back into 4wd. Got out no problem.
It was a bit harder than usual to push the 4wd lever forward and it went with a bit of a clunk.
Thought I would unlock the hubs when I got home about 5 mins away. I forgot to unlock the hubs.
I put on a bout 30 or 40 miles this last week with the hubs locked but never really went above 45. lever was in 2wd position the entire time.
Yesterday when I got home I noticed some drips coming from the transfer case. Looked like they came for the output shaft seal for the front diff. It has never leaked before and its a brand new seal. The TC tends to "weap" a bit from the end of the power take off and other places but not enough to drip.
The entire transfer case was pretty warm to the touch. Not quite HOT but pretty darn WARM.
Is that normal ? What might cause that ?
