I’m noticing some transmission fluid weeping from the center of transmission at the bottom two bolts. Never drips but it is wet. Looks to be coming out bolts itself.
Sorry I meant transfer case leak.
Don’t worry about it until it actually drips onto the floor overnight.

scotty just mentioned to try some at-205 inside
Transfer case gaskets are not rubber. I doubt if AT-205 will help. AT-205 only works on rubber, as I understand.

How long do you think I have before this really becomes an issue? I dont want to run into issues or damage anything. Would that leak more in the winter?
I wouldn’t worry much. Even if it drips a little, … just check a fill hole, … add a bit of fluid until it overfills, … say, twice a year. As I recall, transfer case uses ATF, but check. As how will that last without damage to the transfer case? Oh, … most likely it will outlive the rest of the truck!
Best,

Well that made me feel a lot better lol.
One last question, do you recommend I change the fluid or simply leave as is? It does use Dexron ATF fluid. I've never had it changed and the service manual does not have a time change interval.
Thanks for the info and help!
While you at it, … change it, if you like. All beveled gears and shafts inside - splash lubrication. If you don’t 4wheel much, it just free wheeling together with a front differential and front wheel hubs. I don’t recall a volume of ATF needed, … so check it first in your owners manual.
