    So I finally got a new 61 cj5,by coincidence actually, its still red, but anyway, the rear u joint of the front driveshaft is dripping fluid. I guess its from the front seal of the transfer case. It didn't leak until I put in new fluids, the old stuff couldn't have leaked out of a bullet hole, it was so cruddy. Question is, how much of a job is replacing the front seal of the transfer case, if there is a front seal? Its all stock. Thanks in advance
