BW 1356 ?
Say I had to remove my rear driveshaft on slip yoke BW 1356 transfer case because of trail damage. Would I be able to limp it home in front wheel drive or would I lose all the fluid. Could it be capped off?

you gonna loose fluid there. Try and use some duct tape or simular to cover the opening. Last time i dropped a rear shaft i just grabbed the parts, threw it in 4, and hauled tail back to the house. About a 45 min drive and when i got home the case was dry and hot. Added some fresh fluid and worked fine.

i used to think about this a lot. my 85 had a 208 with a slip yoke rear. as far as i know the ford 208's were fixed yokes, but i didn't build it, so idk.
i left a roll of bailing wire in the tool box just in case assuming i could figure some way to wrap up the d-shaft and keep it in for a ride back home. don't know if it would have worked, but i assume it would for a short trip.

I'd think a pop can or bottle taped over the output would work best. That way you can keep a gap between the output shaft and the thing u cover the hole with. Don't want the shaft to rub on anything.

an empty quart gear oil bottle works great to cover the opening with the help of a little duct tape
