Leaky T-case

My transfer case has been leaking ever since I bought the truck and I figured its about time i put some fluid back in it. About a year ago i filled it with 80-90 gear oil but I am not sure what it actually takes.
Does it use ATF like the ZF5 or gear oil?

Not sure which case is in your truck, but if it is aluminum and chain driven it takes ATF.

Caution 80/90 used in the BW1356 and operated in cold weather will tear off the oil pick in the TC. Only use ATF as stated above. Only thing now is to determine if the pickup is still in tact, if not you will burn up the mainshaft.
