yea, so i layed under my truck to replace the fuel filter when I noticed out glossy and black the frame was... I spotted xfer case fluid drips on the bottom of the case. I belive it is the front seal. But to confirm, I just wiped it all up and am going to take it for a spin to get a better hone in on the discrepency. From reading previous threads, i hear replacing this seal is a PITA

!! But I'm looking forward to it, none the less. Better to find it now than out in the desert!
