Leaky 4X4

[Archive]

I have seen a previous post on the breather leaking on the front axle but that was when it was filled.
My last oil change (2,000 miles ago) I checked the axle oil and it was fine. Thursday I saw a little puttle under my ram and thought the turbo return line started leaking but when I got under it I saw it was the 4X4 breater puking all over. I let it go thinking I might have had the front end tilted twards the passanger side Wed. night. Today I looked under the ram and still saw a wet spot on the drive and am starting to get conserned.

Question is should I be or what else could have caused the problem.

Thank you in advance.

Mac- My 99 puked 3 different times over an 18 month period and when I checked the fluid level it appeared withing spec. Mine never left a puddle so you might want to plug the plug and see how much fluid is left before getting concerned.
On post suggested that the clip that holds the tubing to the frame was pinching it shut which doesn't allow it to vent properly.

I took the tube out of the clip by the top of the shock, cut it, inserted copper tube/clamps, reinstalled, quit puking.

Check vents closely. My t case also was plumbed up to right front fender. Thwe breather tube was not opening and puked allover fender. Also the rear t case seal was leaking fluid because it could not breath and the fluid was being forced out the seal.
