Transfer case leak??

[myersjeremy]

Got a 85 Silverado 4X4 that loses its tranny fluid and stops pulling but if you let it sit a while and check majority of the fluid is back and it will pull again. What are some things to look for as far as with the transfer case? Is there a way to tell if it is forcing the fluid into the transfer case? Is there an overflow tube because I am getting quite a bit of fluid coating the underside but can't pinpoint the leak. It is definitely not the trans front seal.... Thanks for the help!

I have heard of a leak source being the speedo cable input..duno if that is your issue but thought I would mention it anyway...
Maybe you have the transfer case that runs on tranny fluid?

I am pretty sure the transfer case is the NP203 which uses tranny fluid. I am just thinking maybe the rear trans seal is gone and it is forcing the fluid into the transfer case but I have no way of checking that.

Sorry, I don't know anything about auto trannys or NP203s..other than they are chain drivin.
Hey at least my comments are keeping your post to the top for others to read

Sorry....seems it is a NP208....misread the tag. Does it seem realistic that my transmission might still be spared if I figure out it is just the rear seal and the transfer case is overfull? Once it loses enough fluid that it quits pulling I shut it off.
