Fluid level

Hi all!! 2 months ago I remove my T-case BW1356 electric shift to make some tranny serices. Then I made also a full disassembly to my T-case, cleaning, inspection and reassembly again. Following Ford Shop manual a pure 2 quarts of oil in it, then installed again and worked very nice.

This morning I notice a small fluid leak from T-case coming from rear seal, then I though "next monday I'll order a new seal from Ford..." and removed the plug to verify oil level and SURPRICE !!! a lot of oil comes out throught the filling port !!!

Now my questions are:

1º The Ford Manual is wrong? T-case use less than 2 quarts??
2º Oil comes from tranny (E4OD)?? but my tranny oil looks same level...
3º Should I follow generic instrucctios that order fill it until hole level, no matter how much oil is in???
4º Oil from seal could come out since there is an overfilled condittion??

Thanks guys for your help lines...

The input seal in the transfer case is leaking allowing transmission fluid to go to the transfer case. This seal is a double seal which stops the oil from moving either way.
