Transfer case dry?

I have a 97 F`150 Automatic and noticed some leakage around the drive shaft seal on the transfer case. I noticed only because I heard some whining sounds coming from underneath, not good. My question is, is the transfer case fed from the tranny or does it have a separate fill plug and if so where is it? Also what does it take, Mercon or gear oil or??
I don't have a manual so am in the dark here

Thanks

Seperate Fill And Drain. Use Mercon Atf.

Hi Clint and welcome to the forum

The drain and fill plugs are on the back of the transfer case, somewhat hidden by the crossmember. You'll need a 6" or so 3/8 extension and a ratchet for the fill plug and just the ratchet for the drain.
