Mi16x4 Transfer Box Dipstick

[Feeble 0]

Right, we fitted the rocker cover back onto my car, and went to bolt the transfer box dipstick back down, and it was just completely loose. So my dad got under the car and had a quick look and it was completely disconnected!

 

So we pusd it back in and it all seems solid now, but is there not any sort of proper method for securing these two pipes together?

There should be only one pipe?

It splits at the back of the engine on mine!!!

 

It's like, one pipe, but it's got a join in the middle? Must be for when you take the engine out?

There is one solid pipe. Secured at rocker cover with one bolt and at transferbox it is just pushed into place. When I removed engine I just took bolt away and pulled dipstick with it's pipe from transferbox.

Get a pic if you can, the 'box i have sitting outside is exactly as imaS described, one tube push fitted into it.

Ahh, ok that makes sense... But is there no rubber seal to stop any sort of leak?

O-ring or similar seal at transferbox end.

I don't think so, it's just an interference fit, i don't think it'll leak much anyway as it isn't filled up that much, and sits fairly level.

Damn, the leak must be coming from else where then
