transfer case fluid on muffler

Hi, folks!
It's been a while since i wrote something - time to fix that :-)
Here's my latest problema, hope you can help:
I had the rear transfer case seal fail miserably on my 91 jeep wrangler i-6 with man tranny a few
months ago.
Before i discovered what happened i lost 90 percent of the transfer case fluid which deposited all
over the rear underside of the cab and also on the muffler. So now when the tail pipe heats up i can
sense this funny smell coming from under the vehicle. The seal has since been replaced but the fluid
is still all over there and reminds me of its existence every time i get out of the vehicle. Any
ideas on how to safely clean it up? The darned burned oil seems pretty happy right where it is
(translation: it successfully resisted all my to-date attempts to remove it).
All suggestions greatly appreciated. Tia.

Hi Pete,
Usually the part that smells burns off with just a couple of hot
runs, sure you don't have proverbial valve cover leak, too?

You may be vaporizing the fluid that was sprayed over the floor pan and
frame rails. The stuff that actually hit the exhaust is long gone by now.

Try spending a few dollars at your local coin car wash and give the
undercarriage a good going over with the engine cleaner spray.

That reminds me. I've got to spray down the engine
soon so I can see it again!

Coin operated car wash does it every time! Wear a raincoat and some
goggles, getting under there is really a mess.

If you can still smell it, you haven't driven far or long enough. Try going
to the carwash and pressure washing the muffler and the rest of the
underbody, then go for a 30-40 minute drive and burn those fumes off.

Don't get your muffler fluid contaminated.

yes, all chrome triple reverse muffler bearings need their special
oil, pure.

Hi Bill,
An crude refinery is simply a pressure cooker, with valves to take
the product out at various gravity weights:
http://www.energyinst.org.uk/educati...as/chemist.htm at the
bottom were called heavy ends which I used transport to the federal oil
reserves: http://www.billhughes.com/kenworth.jpg Which makes me laugh
every time I hear the bleed heart liberal wackos say our government
should release our reserves.
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O

The link below makes reference to the method of manufacturing "synthetic"
motor oils..

We are 'both' correct.

That being said I would never want to use dino juice on turbo-charged
muffler bearings. Those bearings need all the help they can get.... an
synthetics are 'slicker than pig snot.'
