What's this hole in my transfer case?
I was just under my 4runner and noticed a small hole in the left side of my transfer case. I'd say it is probably about an 1/8" in diameter maybe just a hair bigger. There seems to be a little bit of tranny fluid coming out of it. Is something supposed to hook up here? It's molded into the transfer case. Surely Toyota wouldn't just leave a hole out in the open like that. I'm just wondering if it is something I should worry about.
Thanks guys

I am glad you said something... I just noticed that one myself. I was low on fluid and added a stop leak and conditioner to see if it would help around the gasket there. But it appeared that some was coming from this small hole you refered to. It is unthreaded and tapered so no hose could connect to it.

I was just at Toyota and looked at their parts diagram of the transfer case. There is no part that is supposed to go on or in this hole. My only guess as to why it is there is so that bubbles can come out of it in the event the tranny fluid bubbles up. I'm really not sure .

Surely someone knows what this is.
2nd gen guys, do you think you could go and look at your t-case and tell me if you guys have fluid coming out too?
Thanks
