I’ve got a ‘01 Ram 2500 V8 and I recently noticed my transfer case has a leak after seeing a puddle beneath the truck. I wiped it down and the output shaft seal and took it for a spin after filling it with fresh fluid. It appears that the gasket between the transfer case and the transfer case rear extension housing is the problem. I haven’t been able to find any information on anyone swapping it out. Anyone here ever done it? Seems pretty straight forward. I figured I’d drop the drive shaft and then swap it out. The gasket is pretty cheap. I might go ahead and replace the output shaft seal while I’m at it.

I'd do a couple of other things first - snug up all the bolts and check the breather tube - make sure it is in place and clear.
