Mother of all Tranny Leaks!! HELP!
1994 3.0 Auto 4Runner, 178K. When the truck is sitting, no tranny leak. If I reverse down our long driveway and drive back fluid is dumping from the rear of the tranny. It appears to be coming from a weep hole located about 3 inches forward of the rear drive shaft, drivers side. From the time I place it in park and jump under the truck there is a stream of fluid coming off the bottom skid plate. I can't say I've ever seen a worse leak.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nope, not overfilled, and yes I have checked it in the past. I dug a bit deeper in to the forum this afternoon and found a post that made me smack my forehead...there should be no tranny fluid coming out of a weep hole in the transfer case...
Question is, how is it getting back there? Anyone see this happen before or know which seal needs to be changed between the tranny and the diff?
Thanks in advance.

OK,
Sorry for the delay in getting back but I'm building a 3,000 square foot shop and it has taken away from my toyo project. Today I had a break in the building due to an incoming storm and thought I'd get a bit deeper into why the tranny was leaking...it took about ten minutes to find the problem.
I removed the aft transfer case skid plate and violla...a 3 inch hole in the bottom of the transfer case....nice.
I removed the back of the case to find the internal chain was busted in half and balled up under the front wheel driveshaft spline shaft....little pieces of linkage all over the place. Now I know why the front driveshaft was missing when I bought it at auction.
Needless to say I am going to need another transfer case. If you know of anyone who has one please let me know. The local junk yard has one for $250 (they pull)...problem is that the truck has 200K miles on it; it doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. I'll put out an ad on the parts wanted page as well.
