My Paj is off to Mitspro today for some TLC, got an oil leak that needs some attention. While there what seals should be considere for replacement, looks like engine oil or transmission, not sure to be honest.
So if anyone can advise what other seals may be good to replace while working on this, would be much appreciated.
Current mileage is 140K.
Thx a mil

OK Looks like it is the cam o-ring seals which need to be replaced, not too serious it appears.

OK that was just the 1 leak, looks like an oil leak to the transfer case as well, eish, that looks like an expensive job..... Any suggestion on getting this type of thing repaired in JHB/Centurion area?

David,
You might considder Rex Diff And Gearbox.
The transfer box is bolted to the gearbox and will be easier to remove the whole unit.(speaking under correction here) it might just be the input shaft seal where propshaft enters
Depends what seal it is that is leaking . The transfer box has two seals one from propshaft rear and one to front diff propshaft. Those two seals can be replaced without having to remove the whole box.
Hope this helps
