Transfer case leak

Alright guys. I've had a small leak from my trans/transfer for a while but now with the cold weather this thing is leaving at least a cup of oil everytime I park.

I put a marlin short shifter on it cause it looked like that's where some of the leak was coming from but it still seems to leak from there and also somewhere else. It's below zero outside so I figured I take some pics and ask the experts.

Whatcha think?

How does it look around the shifter? Clean everything up and then it will be easy to see the leak.

Yup, it looks like its leaking. Haha.

Get some carb cleaner and spray/clean off the old oil. Once its clean, take it for a short spin and you should be able to see a little better where its coming from.

Dont forget to refill it if you are leaking that much.

Ok will do. I have redline oil that I'm gonna put in it but I think I'm just gonna get some cheap oil to put in it till I find the leak. I also think it leaks worse when the front hubs are engaged.
