Default Transfer Case Leak 2004 RX 330

I'm searching for technical bulletin TSB TC 001-06 regarding repair for leaking transfer case issues on 2004 RX 330 vehicles. Can anyone advise if it is available on-line or is an email copy available and can be sent to me.

Default Transfer Case Leak 2004 RX 330

After 2 attempts to fix leak by Toyota dealer replaced pinion seal twice, leak still persists. Was advised, today, by dealer that he thinks leak is caused by clogged vent which would require 15 hours labor removing transfer case to get at the vent. He thought vent being clogged might cause high pressure causing leak through seal.

Very disappointed that this may be the cause with vehicle having only 69,000 miles on speedo. Anyone else had this problem?

The service rep at our Lexus dealer told me that the rack itself leaks, i.e., it's not a seal, boot, gasket, etc. issue. It's just a bad part. Usually leaks from passenger side. The rep also expected a recall regarding this but nothing happened, probably because it wasn't a big safety concern.

Here is a link to the page that has the overhaul procedure for the rack leak. However, when I clicked on the link, I didn't get anything(??).
