Thanks for the responses. Both highlight the decision point. It aint broke and works fine so leave it alone or while you have easy access take a peak and prep to reseal and gasket. I will think more on it ovef the next few days. Thanks for the manual. I was looking for that in complete form.
Have used the transfer case and it works fine. No noises or bothersome situations. My initial thought was to address the weeping oil at the 3 shafts.
