I am new to rock crawling. However I do have a little mechanical ability. My ride I have just purchased is a well used tube buggy that has Toyota running gear with dual t case's. The rear case is leaking from the rear section of the case behind the front drive shaft output. Whats confusing me is that all the Toyota cases I have seen are solid cast in this area however this case has an 3in opening behind the front drive shaft output. And it looks like there is a tin cover pressed into the bearing opening, it looks like a small paint can lid? Is this a PTO output? I cant find anything on line and the previous owner went to his local Toyota dealer and they had no idea.

This idea just came to me!! Pull that cap and replace it with some clear lexan. press and seal it to make a nice little fluid check window.
got another 85 runner. build coming soon!!
