Default Re: Transfer Case Officially Recalled

Has anyone ever resealed their transfer case themselves? I know the obvious ideal solution is to have the transfer case replaced under the recall, but it seems many people are having issues getting it done. I just changed out my transfer case fluid and put some Redline MTL/MT-90 50/50 mix in, and now its leaking. And it wasn't before, damn synthetics. It looks like its leaking between the mid section and the tail section.

I called my local dealership today and was told to bring it down to have it inspected. I asked him to run my VIN to check if it had been done but he said he was to busy and he also said that if it was done once they can't do it again. I know it was replaced under warranty along with the tranny many years ago, I have the receipts and the transfer case has the sight plug on the side, which I believe is the 93 transfer case and my car is a 92. On a side note, does this mean I have the 25 spline output shaft? I also just ran a CarFax and the recall was listed on it. So after the short conversation with the service guy, I am expecting problems getting this done and want to weigh all my options if necessary. So, does the transfer case use a actual gasket, or just some sort of sealant like RTV or something? This will be my last resort if I can't get the recall done.
