Pump Rub Question

[radvans]

After returning from Glamis for Thanksgiving I noticed oil dripping from the TC. I assumed I had finally been hit by the pump rub...but when looking at it I can't really see any holes in the common area that I have seen pictures of.

I drained the TC Saturday to see how much fluid was remaining and I would say around 1qt...which would go along with the amount that looks like is all over the bottom of the truck. I had added two quarts of oil about 1yr ago.

So, my question...if you have pump rub will there be a hole or does it just start to seep through the case? I find it hard to imagine a whole qt seeping through but I guess its possible. Also, will it only leak when the truck is in motion...as I don't have any new oil marks on the driveway after I did my initial search for the pump rub hole.

Take a pic or small screwdriver and poke around in that area, it may break through. Yes, it typically only leaks in motion as the hole is above the level of the oil at rest.

Where was the oil dripping from?

I see the most collection of the oil on the bolt heads on the bottom right of the case. So it could be seeping through at the normal pump rub location but it doesn't make alot of sense when you look at it. I would expect more oil where the pump rubs...but its not really wet in that area.
