    Does the transfer case have breathing holes?

    If I were to wad with my Grenadier according to regulations, would water get into the transfer case or other important powertrain components? I heard that the Jeep Wrangler has a small hole in the transfer case.

    Yeah I think I accounted for that by measuring the amount of oil drained from the T/Case and refilling the same volume of fluid. It was about 1.75 liters. Understanding that some fluid was likely trapped in the oil cooler circuit.
