Biker Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago During the last few oil changes, I noticed a slight drip running off the lowest point of the PTU. A bit difficult to trace, but quite sure it's not coming from the axle output seal. Had a closer look yesterday, looks like maybe it is the sensor in the bottom of the PTU. Not sure if that is a speed or temp sensor, but I did have a similar sensor fail and puke pressurized trans fluid last year. It was part of the auto stop/start system. Anyone have experience with PTU leaks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Trace the drip as best you can to a starting point. Wipe the whole area clean. Check area in a couple of days to see if it repeats. If it does come from the sensor, wipe it clean and make sure it's in tight. You can seal the area with silicone sealer designed for oil, grease, etc. IIRC, that is the grey silicone product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Agreed. I cleaned it up all with brake cleaner and I will run it around for a couple days. I could also add dye if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
