Can you put transmission Stop leak in a transfer case?
Stop leak will def not work for a crack in the case.
What does it mean when a transfer case leaks?
A transfer case splits the power coming out of the transmission and sends it to the front and rear wheels. It’s normally a self contained unit and therefore has it’s own fluid. A leaking transfer case could mean that you’ve had a seal failure but it could also mean that there is an issue inside the transfer case itself.
Is the rear differential part of the transfer case?
Which means there is also a rear differential. A transfer case is a part of the drivetrain of four-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and other multiple powered axle vehicles. The transfer case transfers power from the transmission to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts. Yes there is a transfer case if you have 4WD.
How does a transfer case work in a transmission?
They work in unison with the transmission and the front and rear differentials. A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels.
What should I do if I have a differential leak?
The speed reduction and shaft multiplication that happens in your differential requires a specific type and set of gears to correctly change the shaft speed, multiply it into 2 outputs and don’t forget, transfer the power at a right angle! This requires a ring gear, pinion gear, spider gears and carriers to support them.

When to replace a differential or transfer case?
The gear oil can get corroded or dirty, so it may need to be replaced. Seals and other key components should be inspected periodically and cleaned/replaced as needed. If there are major internal problems within a differential or transfer case, then you will typically have repair options.

Where does the rear differential leak on a RAV4?
While the rear differential leaking on the Rav4 isn’t uncommon and we’ve written about it before, this blog focuses on a leak from the rear of the transfer case. The rear extension housing of the Rav4 transfer case has the pinion and pinion bearing inside. A small o-ring seals the entire housing to the differential.
