Transfer box oil leak

Hi guys

I need some advice please, have had a show of oil on the floor of my garage, just got the car up on the ramps and to my surprise, I didn't find it at first? Then it started dripping out of the bottom of the brake drum, definitely transfer oil, still new from when I changed it.

Can one of you knowledgeable chaps give me an idea as to what and where it's leaking from as it looks like it's into the brake drum then dipping from the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

It's the TB's rear output shaft oil seal(FTC4939/FRC7043)... u have to remove the handbrake drum and the flange... not a killer

Yep did mine three weeks ago. Prop off, drum off, flange off, pull the little seal retainer, seal out, replace all, use a new locknut on the flange and new felt washer.

My brake shoes were full of oil, I just washed them in solvent and replaced, it all works fine and passed it's mot.

Hi Guys

Thank you very much for the reply, I will give the landrover centre a call tomorrow and see if they have the kit to replace the failed seal.

Once again thank you to all who contribute there knowledge and experience, whci of course helps us none mechanics and who have limited knowlwdge.

Best regards
