I just off the phone with them again and they're saying they filled the fluid to the proper level, cleaned everything up, and it appears all seals are intact and the fluid was coming out of the top case breather tube. After test-driving the car they're saying everything is functioning OK and not making any whining or howling noises. A case has been opened with Mitsubishi with everything documented in case a problem arises in the future, but for now they're saying the car is ready to go. I'll of course listen for any noise very carefully and if I don't feel it's 100% I'll be leaving it at the dealership.

Sweet! No down time ftw!

I am going to see if MAP can check my levels while my car is there...better safe than sorry.

Definitely, this is beginning to sound like more common of a problem. One up there and two down here that we know about...so far. Easiest thing to do is just remove the fill plug and let any excess drain out.

I'm almost at 30k on mine though...i am guessing it would've happened by now if it wasn't right.

Most likely. You're definitely due for a fluid change though. Mitsu's interval is 30k normal and 15k severe.

Yep...total fluid change is on my spring time list.

I was planning on changing my transfer case and rear differential at 15k miles...my car almost made it!

So they would've covered this under warranty if it needed it? Or if it still will need it? (which hopefully it won't)

Mitsubishi FTL ! Don Herring FTW ! Thats great news for you, Stopping the car and having it towed likely saved you from further damage from heat expansion. Awesome!

If i only I could say the same good things about our dealership here in town. Fuck Brookdale.. you bunch of assholes!
Whew ..feel much better.

So transfer cases howl and whine when fluid comes out? That is odd...

So nothing was replaced as well? Im guessing you just stopped the car because of the noise?
