We study shear viscosity in weakly coupled hot pure gauge field QCD theory basing on transport theory and the Kubo formula using the closed time path formalism (CTP) of real time finite temperature field theory. We show that the viscosity can be obtained as the integral of a retarded three-point function. Non-perturbative corrections to the bare one loop result can be obtained by solving a Schwinger-Dyson type integral equation for this vertex. This integral equation represents the resummation of an infinite series of ladder diagrams which all contribute to the leading-log order result. We show that this integral equation has exactly the same form as the linearized Boltzmann equation and explain the reason behind this formal equality.
