2008 Chevrolet Equinox Suspension Problems

Your transfer case is leaking fluid, and your check engine light is on with multiple diagnostic codes being triggered. The timing chain may be affected, though it's unclear if all the codes are related to the timing chain issue or if there are additional problems. A mechanic will need to scan your vehicle's computer and inspect the transfer case and timing chain to determine what repairs are needed.
