PTU Leaks From the RH Side

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: Remove and replace leaking seals using the information found in the Intermediate Shaft Seal and Deflector or Cover Seal replacement procedure in this article. The specified tools called out in this procedure will allow seal replacement without causing damage to the PTU casing/drive gear.

If the leak is red automatic transmission fluid, 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, the PTU larger cover seal needs replacement. This is located on the PTU cover behind the deflector. Refer to COVER SEAL procedure.

NOTE: The following figure is for reference only. The kit also includes a special tool (not pictured) that is used during seal installation only and is not intended to be left in the PTU as a sealing device.
