NOTE:
Remove and replace leaking seals using the information found in the Intermediate Shaft Seal and Deflector or Cover Seal replacement procedure. The specified tools called out in this procedure will allow seal replacement without causing damage to the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) casing/drive gear.
If the leak is red automatic transmission fluid, then the PTU intermediate shaft seal needs replacement. This is inside the bore of the PTU shaft behind the deflector. Refer to the Intermediate Shaft Seal and Deflector procedure.
If the leak is brown/black gear lube, then the PTU larger cover seal needs replacement. This is located on the PTU cover behind the deflector. Refer to Cover Seal procedure.
