Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan murano began exhibiting a strong burning oil smell approximately august 2013 and i took it to my mechanic. They said a seal in the front transfer case was bad and replaced it for a tune of $1800. In aug 2014 it began doing it again and much stronger. They replaced the seal again at no charge to me but then i took it back 2 weeks later for them to inspect the repair. The transfer case was cracked all along but they were unable to see it because of the amount of oil that had been leaking all over the underside of the case. I had to have the transfer case replaced in september to a tune of $3488+. I found out this has been happening to muranos from 2003 to 2012 and am very unhappy that nissan has not made this a recall on their cvt transfer cases. Obviously the mold of the case is flawed with this happening to so many years of murano's and i am not even sure the new transfer case i received is going to be any better since i find evidence that owners of as late as 2012 murano's are having the same problem. This needs to be resolved by nissan and made right with the many owner's that have had to spend thousands to replace their faulty transfer cases.
