I had the same thing with my transfer case, 1-1 1/2 qts overfilled. Someone said that a seal between trans. and transfer case was leaking but I don't see that as my trans never had to have any fluid added. If there was "cross leaking" then I would have had to add a qt. of ATF to the trans. which I have never had to do. As for the rear end I also had a problem with the low fluid level. Mine turned out to be an axle seal but it didn't show as a leak because it stayed(for a while) in the ebrake drum.
