I think I know the answer to this, but I thought I would
check out what others believe.
My brother-in-law has just had an oil leak from what I believe was the gasket between the transfer case and the gearbox in a 1997 Mazda Bravo (Petrol/Gas). A mechanic told him the problem was caused by driving the car around with the front hubs turned in. I personally find this really hard to believe, but what do others think / know?

Yep.... pure rubbish.... our Bravo is in the low 200's and has no leak. Done quite a bit of travel and a fair bit of AWD. That transfer case seal is leaking because it is leaking. Thats all.....some makes do - some don't - if its not that, something else will happen.... vagaries of manufacturing.... assembly......parts maker etc etc. By the way... our Bravo has a great record for not leaking at all from anywhere - one of the driest cars I've seen. I reckon we should use cars as they were designed to be used.....and cross your fingers.
