Leaking T case

[streetstar]

I am a 4wd newcomer and know very little about the equipment on an old rig like my Blazer (its an 88), but i do know it leaves little red spots on my driveway

When one of these is leaking , is it ever just an easy fix, or is it a remove it and go through it ordeal?

Being an amateur at these things - if it needs to be re-built to have new seals installed , i will probably refer that process to a shop- what is a decent ballpark price to replace the seals - worst case scenario?

Everything works fine though, its just messy and i am attempting to restore the old thing to "occasional daily driver" status, so things like this are nerve wracking

It depends on where it is leaking. Some of the bolts that secure it to the transfer case adapter actually go thru the case and a little rtv on the threads will fix that. If it is leaking from the front yoke, that's not too difficult at all. I'm in the middle of replacing that seal on my friend's 83 chevy, and it an be done with the t-case in the truck....just be sure to drain the fluid. The rear seal for the drive shaft shouldn't be too tough either. I think any place else will require the t-case to be removed. Hope this helps.
