T-Case question

I am removing my entire drive train and having the C6 tranny and NP205 transfer case rebuilt. When i pulled the T-Case off yesterday I noticed tranny fluid dripping from the transmission after the NP205 was out. I can only assume that is a bad seal. Correct? What fluid do you use in the T-Case once this is all rebuilt?

Thanks

No, not necessarily. The tranny fluid is there so the trans' rear seal remains lubricated.

I assume you've never pulled an auto trans, right? Tipping it tail down will usually result in your floor looking like an ATF murder scene.... that's why they sell a tailshaft plug to prevent such occurrences.

$13 from Amazon.

LOL! I have never pulled a T-Case before but i have pulled a transmission. It was not leaving from the tail but from the opening itself. I have it jacked up from the rear currently.
