help! leaking transfer case!

i have a 1978 dodge power wagon w150 with a 360 4 barrel, 727 trans and np 203 transfer case. when i had the t-case rebulit, the driveline shop used sea 90 wieght gear oil with a friction modifier, their reason being that 10w-30 oil was too thin for california weather. recently i changed the oil and accidentaly put in the 10w-30 with the modifier and it leaked everywhere. after consulting the driveline shop, i put in the 90 wieght gear oil with modifier and it continued to leak. after changing the oil numerous times to try and stop the leakage, the shop found the source of the leak to be the vent, located on the top of the housing. they relocated the vent to the highest point in the engine bay, and it still continues to leak. why would it still be doing this? would there still be residue on the inside of the case, and if so how would i clean it out? this problem frustrates my to no end. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks-
foolish kid

first of all smack the crap out of your driveline shop, there is a reason dodge said to use the 30 weight oil.

now an even better question, exactly what vent are you talking about? i have 3 different 203 cases and none of them have a vent on them.

What is the proper lubricant for an np 208? I was told to use automatic transmission fluid. Should I shoot the guy who told me that, or what?
