So I think my search function is broken. I have a leak in my winch and was wondering if there is a gasket kit for it or do I just use RTV when rebuilding it. Also searching TM's.

Most of the places that have gaskets, the gaskets are used as shims for the bearings. The bearings will be too tight if you use RTV. I always make my own out of gasket material. Some places can require several gaskets to get the proper clearance.

If not pouring out oil and everything else is ok, just fill it with CORN HEAD GREASE, leaks gone, no rebuild, better lube then gear oil

Yea, I run JD corn head grease in mine even after rebuild. Seems to be working fine.
