Multiple Leaks...Easiest Fix?

[Explorer_Phil]

So, I have a few issues that I believe could be addressed by the EF Community and the amazing depth of knowledge available here. So, here's the story...
I have a 2001 Explorer Sport, 4x4 (and I LOVE it!), but i've been noticing more and more spots on the driveway. I finally went under and cleaned everything off to see where the leaks were coming from and discovered three different fluids (neat, huh?)

I have transmission fluid leaking from an unknown location, but not enough to have EVER added fluid (and I check it regularly). More of a convenience fix for this one.

I have a leak in my transfer case and can see exactly where it's leaking from (through the seal in the middle). Do I really need to take it apart to reseal that, or can I clean it up enough to squirt some RTV into the seam and be done with it?

Lastly, I have a pinion seal leak from my front diff. How much is this to get fixed, as I don't have the expertise to do it myself?

Thanks

Unknown location on the transmission....hmm, just wanna make sure it wouldn't be coming from your transfer case and running down to it somehow? If not, keep looking! Could be something as easy as a pan gasket?? and hey, when's the last time you changed your transmission fluid anyways?

Transfer case.. yes, I would take it apart. If it's minor, you could use your idea until you had a free day to do the real repair.

Front diff leak: I would get a quote from a repair shop

Do you have a repair manual for your vehicle? They come in mighty handy.

The transmission fluid was changed back when I got a new transmission about 30,000 miles ago. A pan gasket wouldn't be all that bad. I'll keep looking for the source of the leak...I do hope it's just splash from the T-Case though, that would be rather nice--no tranny fix required.

Ok, I guess I'll be taking the t-case apart sometime when I have time...hmmmm (hits "Search" feature)

Yeah, quote....I might just monitor fluid levels and add fluid until I get the ok from the wife to do a gear change and get the rebuild along with it...


Thanks for the help!
