have an oil leak on the rear prop shaft
i need help to identify what this is so i can get a replacement part
the oil is leaking out of the rear drive shaft right where it hooks into the splitter box by the transmission.
the seal looks kind of like a half shaft boot and it is leaking out of there and spraying oil all of the under side of the car, i am not even sure where the oil is coming from? the torque splitter? the transaxle?

its leaking from the transfere case and making the grease i n the old style cv joint for the driveshaft sling out the grease. even though it may look like you lost alot of lube from the T case you didnt. Ive checked many after fixing the leak and found them still at the correct level. You need take off the drive shaft( front) then the output nut offthe flange for the T case. clean real well with brake clean and apply sealant liberally to the base of the ut ans reinstall. Then regrease the end of the drive shaft with cv joint grease and youre done.
