Doubt the fluid is coming out of the connector. Is your 4x4 light on? Are your hubs in proper working condition?

that's the 4x4 indicator for the t-case to tell the pcm to light up the dash lights

looks like the internal seal has given out and fluid is leaching


have you checked the 4x4 relay and fuses?
manually lock the hubs
take a hammer and give the shift solenoid motor (on back of t-case) a few love taps

best of luck. that fluid leak is likely going to cause extra issues besides the rough hubs
